Genes affected
 TERC  (HGNC:11727):  (telomerase RNA component) 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, and an RNA component, encoded by this gene, that 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. Mutations in this gene cause autosomal dominant dyskeratosis congenita, and may also be associated with some cases of aplastic anemia. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ACMG classification
Classification was made for transcript
Our verdict: Uncertain_significance. The variant received 0 ACMG points.
PP5
Variant 3-169765298-CAG-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr3-169765298-CAG-C is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 39279.Status of the report is no_assertion_criteria_provided, 0 stars. 
BS2
High AC in GnomAd4 at 16 AD gene. Variant has AC lower than other variant known as pathogenic in the gene, so the strength is limited to Supporting.
