Genes affected

TERC (HGNC:11727): (telomerase RNA component) 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, and an RNA component, encoded by this gene, that 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. Mutations in this gene cause autosomal dominant dyskeratosis congenita, and may also be associated with some cases of aplastic anemia. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

This variant occurs in the TERC gene, which encodes an RNA molecule that does not result in a protein product. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with TERC-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 835631). This variant is located within the template/pseudoknot domain of the TERC RNA component, which is required for RNA or RNP stability (PMID: 15082312, 21844345). In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance.
