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]

The TERT c.779G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Gly260Asp. This variant has been reported in a 73 year old individual with acquired aplastic anemia (Calado et al. 2009. PubMed ID: 19674077), in an individual with neuroblastoma (TableS4b, Zhang et al. 2015. PubMed ID: 26580448), and in an individual with telomere disease (Kapuria et al. 2019. PubMed ID: 30791107). Functional studies have shown that this variant has no impact on telomere overhang length or protein binding (Calado et al. 2009. PubMed ID: 19674077; Zhang et al. 2014. PubMed ID: 24983628). This variant is reported in 0.071% of alleles in individuals of African descent in gnomAD. This variant has conflicting interpretations in ClinVar regarding is pathogenicity, ranging from uncertain to benign (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/471902). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
