Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 4 ACMG points: 4P and 0B. PVS1_Moderate PM2

The NM_015450.3(POT1):​c.1884del​(p.Val629LeufsTer5) 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. T628T) has been classified as 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.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product does not undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Variant is located in the 3'-most exon, not predicted to undergo nonsense mediated mRNA decay. Fraction of 0.011 CDS is truncated, and there are 0 pathogenic variants in the truncated region.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage

The c.1884delA variant, located in coding exon 15 of the POT1 gene, results from a deletion of one nucleotide at nucleotide position 1884, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.V629Lfs*5). Frameshifts are typically deleterious in nature, however, this frameshift occurs at the 3' terminus of POT1, is not expected to trigger nonsense-mediated mRNA decay, and impacts only the last 6 amino acids of the protein. The exact functional impact of these altered amino acids is unknown at this time. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
