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-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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Uncertain_significance. Variant got 4 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.849

Variant summary: The RTEL1 c.2288G>T (p.Gly763Val) variant involves the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. 3/3 in silico tools predict a damaging outcome for this variant (SNPs&GO not captured due to low reliability index). This variant was absent in 126388 control chromosomes, but has been reported in compound heterozygous state with a pathogenic RTEL1 variant in a DKC patient in the literature (Walne_AJHG_2013). OMIM cites the variant as pathogenic, but the variant has not been reported or classified by other clinical labs via ClinVar. Taken together, the variant was classified as a variant of uncertain significance (VUS) until additional information becomes available. -
