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

Verdict is Benign. Variant got -14 ACMG points.

• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-1.04).
• BP6: Variant 5-1255729-C-T is Benign according to our data. Variant chr5-1255729-C-T is described in ClinVar as [Likely_benign]. Clinvar id is 1218807.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.
• BS1: Variant frequency is greater than expected in population nfe. gnomad4 allele frequency = 0.00884 (1346/152296) while in subpopulation NFE AF= 0.0136 (922/67998). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.0128. There are 7 homozygotes in gnomad4. There are 678 alleles in male gnomad4 subpopulation. This position pass quality control queck.
• BS2: High Homozygotes in GnomAd at 7 SD gene
