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]

RTEL1 links:

RTEL1-TNFRSF6B (HGNC:44095): (RTEL1-TNFRSF6B readthrough (NMD candidate)) This locus represents naturally occurring read-through transcription between the neighboring RTEL1 (regulator of telomere elongation helicase 1) and TNFRSF6B (tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily, member 6b, decoy) genes on chromosome 20. The read-through transcript is a candidate for nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD), and is unlikely to produce a protein product. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2011]

The c.1668-8G>A variant in RTEL1 has not been previously reported in individuals with dyskeratosis congenita or pulmonary fibrosis, but has been identified in 7 /125882 of European 2/30774 South Asian chromosomes and by the Genome Aggregatio n Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs374702981). This v ariant has been reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 473908). This variant is loca ted in the 3' splice region. Computational tools suggest a possible impact to sp licing. However, this information is not predictive enough to determine pathogen icity. In summary, the clinical significance of the c.1668-8G>A variant is uncer tain. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PM2, PP3. -

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change falls in intron 18 of the RTEL1 gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the RTEL1 protein. This variant is present in population databases (rs374702981, gnomAD 0.006%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with RTEL1-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 473908). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. 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. -
