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]

Dyskeratosis congenita, autosomal dominant 2 Uncertain:1

Neuberg Centre For Genomic Medicine, NCGM
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The missense variant p.R185W in TERT (NM_198253.3) has not been reported previously as a pathogenic variant nor as a benign variant, to our knowledge. It has been submitted to ClinVar as Uncertain Significance. There is a moderate physicochemical difference between arginine and tryptophan. The p.R185W missense variant is predicted to be tolerated by both SIFT or PolyPhen2. The nucleotide c.553 in TERT is not conserved according to a GERP++ and PhyloP analysis of 100 vertebrates. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Uncertain Significance. -

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. -
