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.

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The POT1 c.73G>A (p.Val25Ile) variant has not been reported in individuals with POT1-related conditions in the published literature. The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.000009 (2/222720 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is uninformative in the assessment of its pathogenicity. Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded predictions that this variant is benign. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:1

Ambry Genetics
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.73G>A (p.V25I) alteration is located in exon 6 (coding exon 2) of the POT1 gene. This alteration results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 73, causing the valine (V) at amino acid position 25 to be replaced by an isoleucine (I). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

Tumor predisposition syndrome 3 Uncertain:1

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces valine, which is neutral and non-polar, with isoleucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 25 of the POT1 protein (p.Val25Ile). The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the gnomAD database. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with POT1-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 475098). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt POT1 protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. 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. -
