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:2
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsMar 16, 2022The p.L234F variant (also known as c.702G>C), located in coding exon 2 of the TERT gene, results from a G to C substitution at nucleotide position 702. The leucine at codon 234 is replaced by phenylalanine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This amino acid position is conserved. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingSt. Jude Molecular Pathology, St. Jude Children's Research HospitalAug 19, 2021The TERT c.702G>C (p.Leu234Phe) missense change has a maximum subpopulation frequency of 0.0063% in gnomAD v2.1.1 (https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/5-1294299-C-G). This variant occurs in a gene where missense variants are more likely to be damaging based on methods described by Lek et al. (PP2; PMID: 27535533). Six of seven in silico tools predict a benign effect of this variant on protein function (BP4), but to our knowledge these predictions have not been confirmed by functional assays. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in individuals with clinical features of dyskeratosis congenita. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as of uncertain significance based on the ACMG/AMP criteria: PP2, BP4. -
