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.

This sequence change falls in intron 13 of the POT1 gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the POT1 protein. RNA analysis indicates that this variant induces altered splicing and likely results in the gain of 3 amino acid residue(s), but is expected to preserve the integrity of the reading-frame. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with POT1-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 475025). Studies have shown that this variant results in the activation of a cryptic splice site in intron 13 (Invitae). 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. -
