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]

Variant summary: RTEL1 c.431C>T (p.Thr144Ile) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the Helicase-like, DEXD box c2 type domain (IPR006554) of the encoded protein sequence. Two of three in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0027 in 245238 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.0053 within the Non-Finnish European subpopulation in the gnomAD database, including 2 homozygotes. The observed variant frequency within Non-Finnish European control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 4.74 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in RTEL1 causing Dyskeratosis Congenita (Hoyeraal Hreidarsson Syndrome) phenotype (0.0011). c.431C>T has been reported in the literature in 5 individuals affected with Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and 2 controls (Qiao_2018). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Dyskeratosis Congenita (Hoyeraal Hreidarsson Syndrome). To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publication have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 30060175). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 436561). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -

Significance: Likely benign

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -
