Genetic Variant POT1:p.Tyr324* (chr7-124846976-G-T) – ACMG Classification: Pathogenic (10 pts)

Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 10 ACMG points: 10P and 0B. PVS1PM2

The NM_015450.3(POT1):c.972C>A(p.Tyr324*) variant causes a stop gained change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000206 in 1,453,070 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. No clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar. Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. Y324Y) has been classified as Likely benign. Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.

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.
