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]

DNA sequence analysis of the TERT gene demonstrated a sequence change, c.1108C>T, in exon 2 that results in an amino acid change, p.Pro370Ser. This sequence change has been previously described in a patient with with cutaneous malignant melanoma but no additional details were provided (PMID: 29036293). This sequence change has been described in the gnomAD database with a low population frequency of 0.0053% (dbSNP rs143148040). The p.Pro370Ser change affects a moderately conserved amino acid residue located in a domain of the TERT protein that is known to be functional. In-silico pathogenicity prediction tools (SIFT, PolyPhen2, Align GVGD, REVEL) provide contradictory results for the p.Pro370Ser substitution. Due to these contrasting evidences and the lack of functional studies, the clinical significance of the p.Pro370Ser change remains unknown at this time. -

The TERT c.1108C>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Pro370Ser. This variant has been reported in an individual with melanoma (Tables 2 and S4, Family W, Individual 1003, Goldstein et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 29036293). This variant is reported in 0.010% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD. It is interpreted as uncertain significance in ClinVar (https://preview.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/410678/). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -

This sequence change replaces proline, which is neutral and non-polar, with serine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 370 of the TERT protein (p.Pro370Ser). This variant is present in population databases (rs143148040, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with melanoma (PMID: 29036293). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 410678). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) has been performed at Invitae for this missense variant, however the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on TERT protein function. 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. -
