Genes affected
TERT (HGNC:11730): (telomerase reverse transcriptase) Telomerase is a ribonucleoprotein polymerase that maintains telomere ends by addition of the telomere repeat TTAGGG. The enzyme consists of a protein component with reverse transcriptase activity, encoded by this gene, and an RNA component which serves as a template for the telomere repeat. Telomerase expression plays a role in cellular senescence, as it is normally repressed in postnatal somatic cells resulting in progressive shortening of telomeres. Deregulation of telomerase expression in somatic cells may be involved in oncogenesis. Studies in mouse suggest that telomerase also participates in chromosomal repair, since de novo synthesis of telomere repeats may occur at double-stranded breaks. Alternatively spliced variants encoding different isoforms of telomerase reverse transcriptase have been identified; the full-length sequence of some variants has not been determined. Alternative splicing at this locus is thought to be one mechanism of regulation of telomerase activity. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Dyskeratosis congenita Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsJul 16, 2015The c.1769+16G>A intronic variant results from a G to A substitution 16 nucleotides after coding exon 3 in the TERT gene. This variant was previously reported in the SNPDatabase as rs202108457. Based on data from the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project (ESP), the A allele has an overall frequency of approximately 0.01% (1/13006) total alleles studied and 0.01% (1/8600) European American alleles. This nucleotide position is poorly conserved in available vertebrate species on limited alignment. In addition, A is the reference nucleotide in multiple species. Using the BDGP and ESEfinder splice site prediction tools, this alteration is not predicted to have any significant effect on this acceptor/donor splice site; however, direct evidence is unavailable. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -
