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.

Observed in individuals with a personal or family history of leukemia, osteosarcoma, melanoma, and/or other cancers, as well as in unaffected controls (PMID: 27528712, 28592523, 32449991, 32191290, 38688277, 36539277); In silico analysis indicates that this missense variant does not alter protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 28829750, 28853721, 27528712, 32449991, 32191290, 32987645, 28592523, 32033110, 28393830, 34426522, 37183325, 36031433, 36876055, 38626793, 38254993, 38688277, 36539277) -

The POT1 p.Gln245Arg variant was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs143635917) LOVD 3.0 and ClinVar (classified as likely benign by Invitae and as a VUS by Ambry Genetics) but was not identified in Cosmic. The variant was also identified in control databases in 122 of 270546 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.000451 increasing the likelihood this could be a low frequency benign variant (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). The variant was observed in the following populations: Ashkenazi Jewish in 39 of 9970 chromosomes (freq: 0.003912), European (non-Finnish) in 68 of 126202 chromosomes (freq: 0.000539), Latino in 11 of 31590 chromosomes (freq: 0.000348), Other in 2 of 6986 chromosomes (freq: 0.000286), African in 1 of 24778 chromosomes (freq: 0.00004) and European (Finnish) in 1 of 24964 chromosomes (freq: 0.00004); it was not observed in the East Asian and South Asian populations. This variant was found at a higher frequency in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia compared to controls (Speedy_2016_PMID:27528712). The p.Gln245 residue is conserved in mammals however computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) provide inconsistent predictions regarding the impact to the protein; this information is not very predictive of pathogenicity. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and 3 of 4 in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSitFinder, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer) do not predict a difference in splicing. In summary, based on the above information the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time. This variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Collection Method: clinical testing

The POT1 c.1127A>G (p.Gln376Arg) missense change has a maximum founder subpopulation frequency of 0.4% and a maximum non-founder subpopulation frequency of 0.05% in gnomAD v2.1.1 (https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). The in silico tool REVEL predicts a benign effect on protein function, but to our knowledge this prediction has not been confirmed by functional studies. This variant has been reported in an individual with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (PMID: 27528712). In summary, the evidence currently available is insufficient to determine the clinical significance of this variant. It has therefore been classified as of uncertain significance. -

Significance: Likely benign
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -
