Genes affected

Telomerase-vert (HGNC:):

TERC (HGNC:11727): (telomerase RNA component) 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, and an RNA component, encoded by this gene, that 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. Mutations in this gene cause autosomal dominant dyskeratosis congenita, and may also be associated with some cases of aplastic anemia. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 10 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 3-169765003-CAGTT-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr3-169765003-CAGTT-C is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 30265.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr3-169765003-CAGTT-C is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic].

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. This variant is located within the template/pseudoknot domain of the TERC RNA component, which is required for RNA or RNP stability (PMID: 15082312, 21844345). Functional studies testing the effect of this variant on TERC secondary structure or function have not been reported. This variant has been observed in individual(s) with dyskeratosis congenita (DC) and with clinical features of DC (PMID: 22341970, 16332973, Invitae). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 30265). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This variant occurs in the TERC gene, which encodes an RNA molecule that does not result in a protein product. -
