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]

The R819C variant in the TERT gene has been reported in an abstract by Iannotti et al. (2013) in an adult female with abnormal skin pigmentation, familial pulmonary fibrosis, osteoarthritis, and a refractory cytopenia with multilineage dysplasia with a 47,XX,+8 karyotype. This variant was identified via direct sequencing of the TERT gene. A second variant in the TERT gene was also observed in the reported individual in the heterozygous state (Iannotti et al., 2013); it is unclear from the abstract if segregation analysis was performed to confirm the phase of these variants in this individual. The R819C variant has also been reported previously in this individual as a de novo finding in association with dyskeratosis congenita (Vanderver et al., 2016). The R819C variant is a non-conservative amino acid substitution of a positively charged Arginine with a neutral, polar Cysteine at a residue that is not conserved across species. In silico analysis was inconsistent with regard to the effect this variant may have on the protein structure/function. Data from control individuals were not available to assess whether the R819C variant is a common benign variant in the general population. Based on review of the data in the context of the 2015 ACMG standards and guidelines for the interpretation of sequence variants (Richards et al., 2015), we now interpret R819C as a likely pathogenic variant. -

This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with atypical dyskeratosis congenita with hypomyelination (PMID: 27159321). This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 819 of the TERT protein (p.Arg819Cys). This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.005%). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 265268). 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. 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. -
