Genes affected

RTEL1 (HGNC:15888): (regulator of telomere elongation helicase 1) This gene encodes a DNA helicase which functions in the stability, protection and elongation of telomeres and interacts with proteins in the shelterin complex known to protect telomeres during DNA replication. Mutations in this gene have been associated with dyskeratosis congenita and Hoyerall-Hreidarsson syndrome. Read-through transcription of this gene into the neighboring downstream gene, which encodes tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily, member 6b, generates a non-coding transcript. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2013]

RTEL1-TNFRSF6B (HGNC:):

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 8 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant located near the start codon (<100nt), not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. There are 10 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 20-63659448-C-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr20-63659448-C-T is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 1350840.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with RTEL1-related conditions. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln16*) in the RTEL1 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in RTEL1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 23453664, 23959892, 25607374). -
