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]

Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; Observed in patients with a personal and/or family history of a TERT-related disorder and shortened telomeres (PMID: 23618685, 29976374); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 26642856, 23618685, 22512499, 29976374, 33203829, 31256854, 25393420) -

This sequence change has been reported in the gnomAD database in one individual (dbSNP rs387907251). This sequence change has been identified in an individual with telomere-related pulmonary fibrosis and bone marrow failure. This patient was reported to have a family history consistent with TERT-related disorders, including pulmonary fibrosis, thrombocytopenia, and acute myeloid leukemia; however, affected relatives were not analyzed for this sequence change (PMID: 22512499). The p.Pro923Leu change affects a highly conserved amino acid residue located in a domain of the TERT protein that is known to be functional. The p.Pro923Leu substitution appears to be deleterious using several in-silico pathogenicity prediction tools (SIFT, PolyPhen2, Align GVGD, REVEL). -

The p.P923L variant (also known as c.2768C>T), located in coding exon 11 of the TERT gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 2768. The proline at codon 923 is replaced by leucine, an amino acid with similar properties. This variant was first described in an individual with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, mild pancytopenia, and short telomere lengths. This individual's family history was remarkable for a parent and 3 siblings with pulmonary fibrosis; two siblings also had thrombocytopenia and acute myeloid leukemia, respectively (Gansner JM et al. N. Engl. J. Med., 2012 Apr;366:1551-3). In addition, this variant was described in a second individual with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and hypocellularity on bone marrow biopsy who was listed for lung transplantation (George G et al. Chest, 2015 Jun;147:1549-1557). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

Variant summary: TERT c.2768C>T (p.Pro923Leu) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Reverse transcriptase domain of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 249260 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.2768C>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with TERT-Related Disorders (Gansner_2012, Stark_2022, Ferrer_2023). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with TERT-Related Disorders. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 37665761, 22512499, 35083318). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 36950). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

Collection Method:clinical testing

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. This sequence change replaces proline, which is neutral and non-polar, with leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 923 of the TERT protein (p.Pro923Leu). This variant is present in population databases (rs387907251, gnomAD 0.007%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with diffuse pulmonary fibrosis. However, it is uncertain if the variant is of germline or somatic origin (PMID: 22512499). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 36950). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt TERT protein function. -
