Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 4 ACMG points: 4P and 0B. PM2 PM4

The NM_015450.3(POT1):c.1898del(p.Val633GlufsTer21) variant causes a frameshift change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. V633V) has been classified as Likely benign.

Genes affected

POT1 (HGNC:17284): (protection of telomeres 1) This gene is a member of the telombin family and encodes a nuclear protein involved in telomere maintenance. Specifically, this protein functions as a member of a multi-protein complex that binds to the TTAGGG repeats of telomeres, regulating telomere length and protecting chromosome ends from illegitimate recombination, catastrophic chromosome instability, and abnormal chromosome segregation. Increased transcriptional expression of this gene is associated with stomach carcinogenesis and its progression. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described.

ACMG classification

Verdict is Uncertain_significance. Variant got 4 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM4: Frameshift in the end of transcript resulting in stoplost. Downstream stopcodon found after 635 codons.

The c.1898delT variant, located in coding exon 15 of the POT1 gene, results from a deletion of one nucleotide at nucleotide position 1898, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.V633Efs*21). This alteration occurs at the 3' terminus of thePOT1 gene, is not expected to trigger nonsense-mediated mRNAdecay and results in the elongation of the protein by 18 amino acids. This frameshift impacts the last 2amino acids of the native protein. The exact functional effect of the altered amino acids is unknown. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
