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]

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Benign. The variant received -17 ACMG points.

BP4

Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.62).

BP6

Variant 5-1260498-A-G is Benign according to our data. Variant chr5-1260498-A-G is described in ClinVar as Likely_benign. ClinVar VariationId is 242233.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

BP7

Synonymous conserved (PhyloP=0.147 with no splicing effect.

BS1

Variant frequency is greater than expected in population eas. GnomAdExome4 allele frequency = 0.0000746 (109/1461800) while in subpopulation EAS AF = 0.00252 (100/39700). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.00212. There are 1 homozygotes in GnomAdExome4. There are 46 alleles in the male GnomAdExome4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 33. This position passed quality control check.
