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.

Tumor predisposition syndrome 3 Pathogenic:1
May 02, 2023
Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp
Significance:Likely pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 475077). 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) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt POT1 protein function. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects POT1 function (PMID: 27239034). In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. This missense change has been observed in individuals with POT1-related conditions (PMID: 28389767; Invitae). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This sequence change replaces lysine, which is basic and polar, with glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, at codon 90 of the POT1 protein (p.Lys90Glu). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:1
Apr 23, 2024
Ambry Genetics
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.K90E variant (also known as c.268A>G), located in coding exon 4 of the POT1 gene, results from an A to G substitution at nucleotide position 268. The lysine at codon 90 is replaced by glutamic acid, an amino acid with similar properties. This variant has been observed in individuals with a personal and/or family history that is consistent with POT1-associated disease, and was shown to segregate with diseases in at least one family (Wilson TL et al. Fam Cancer, 2017 Oct;16:561-566; Ambry internal data). Functional studies suggest some telomere dysfunction; however, additional evidence is needed to confirm this finding (Pinzaru AM et al. Cell Rep, 2016 Jun;15:2170-2184). This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -
