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

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 12 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, LoF is a know mechanism of disease, Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 9.9, offset of 1, new splice context is: ctgtcttctctttctttaAGttc. Cryptic site results in frameshift change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in frameshift change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 7-124892381-C-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr7-124892381-C-T is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 568503.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 5 of the POT1 gene. RNA analysis indicates that disruption of this splice site induces altered splicing and may result in an absent or altered protein product. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individual(s) with POT1-related conditions (PMID: 36539277). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 568503). Studies have shown that disruption of this splice site results in activation of a cryptic splice site, and produces a non-functional protein and/or introduces a premature termination codon (internal data). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
