dbSNP rs121918666: TERT:p.Arg865His (chr5-1266524-C-T) – ACMG Classification: Pathogenic (22 pts)

Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 22 ACMG points: 22P and 0B. PS3PM1PM2PM5PP3_StrongPP5_Very_Strong

The NM_198253.3(TERT):c.2594G>A(p.Arg865His) variant causes a missense change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000311 in 1,609,706 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★). ClinVar reports functional evidence for this variant: "SCV000490843: "Additionally, functional studies have demonstrated that R865H results in significantly reduced enzyme activities (Tsakiri et al., 2007" and additional evidence is available in ClinVar. Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R865C) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

Genes affected

TERT (HGNC:11730): (telomerase reverse transcriptase) Telomerase is a ribonucleoprotein polymerase that maintains telomere ends by addition of the telomere repeat TTAGGG. The enzyme consists of a protein component with reverse transcriptase activity, encoded by this gene, and an RNA component which serves as a template for the telomere repeat. Telomerase expression plays a role in cellular senescence, as it is normally repressed in postnatal somatic cells resulting in progressive shortening of telomeres. Deregulation of telomerase expression in somatic cells may be involved in oncogenesis. Studies in mouse suggest that telomerase also participates in chromosomal repair, since de novo synthesis of telomere repeats may occur at double-stranded breaks. Alternatively spliced variants encoding different isoforms of telomerase reverse transcriptase have been identified; the full-length sequence of some variants has not been determined. Alternative splicing at this locus is thought to be one mechanism of regulation of telomerase activity. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
