Genes affected
RTEL1 (HGNC:15888): (regulator of telomere elongation helicase 1) This gene encodes a DNA helicase which functions in the stability, protection and elongation of telomeres and interacts with proteins in the shelterin complex known to protect telomeres during DNA replication. Mutations in this gene have been associated with dyskeratosis congenita and Hoyerall-Hreidarsson syndrome. Read-through transcription of this gene into the neighboring downstream gene, which encodes tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily, member 6b, generates a non-coding transcript. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2013]

Submissions by phenotype

Dyskeratosis congenita, autosomal recessive 5 Uncertain:2
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testing3billionJan 03, 2022The variant is observed at an extremely low frequency in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset (total allele frequency: 0.000028, PM2_M). In silico tool predictions suggest damaging effect of the variant on gene or gene product (REVEL: 0.713, PP3_P). Therefore, this variant is classified as uncertain significance according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. -

Dyskeratosis congenita, autosomal recessive 5;C4225346:Pulmonary fibrosis and/or bone marrow failure, Telomere-related, 3 Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJul 19, 2022This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 550 of the RTEL1 protein (p.Arg550Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs369419645, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with pulmonary fibrosis (PMID: 30995915). This variant is also known as p.Arg574Cys. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 422356). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be disruptive. 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. -
