Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely benign. Variant got -4 ACMG points: 0P and 4B. BP4_Strong

The NM_001283009.2(RTEL1):c.2975C>G(p.Pro992Arg) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000521 in 1,611,804 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 15/20 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. P992L) has been classified as Likely benign.

Genes affected
RTEL1 (HGNC:15888): (regulator of telomere elongation helicase 1) This gene encodes a DNA helicase which functions in the stability, protection and elongation of telomeres and interacts with proteins in the shelterin complex known to protect telomeres during DNA replication. Mutations in this gene have been associated with dyskeratosis congenita and Hoyerall-Hreidarsson syndrome. Read-through transcription of this gene into the neighboring downstream gene, which encodes tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily, member 6b, generates a non-coding transcript. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2013]
RTEL1-TNFRSF6B (HGNC:44095): (RTEL1-TNFRSF6B readthrough (NMD candidate)) This locus represents naturally occurring read-through transcription between the neighboring RTEL1 (regulator of telomere elongation helicase 1) and TNFRSF6B (tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily, member 6b, decoy) genes on chromosome 20. The read-through transcript is a candidate for nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD), and is unlikely to produce a protein product. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2011]

Dyskeratosis congenita, autosomal recessive 5;C4225346:Pulmonary fibrosis and/or bone marrow failure, Telomere-related, 3 Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJan 17, 2024This sequence change replaces proline, which is neutral and non-polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 992 of the RTEL1 protein (p.Pro992Arg). This variant is present in population databases (rs143967591, gnomAD 0.09%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with RTEL1-related conditions. This variant is also known as c.3047C>G (p.Pro1016Arg). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 968287). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be tolerated. 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. -
