Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 2 ACMG points: 6P and 4B. PM1PM2PM5BP4_ModerateBP6_Moderate

The NM_198253.3(TERT):c.2702G>A(p.Arg901Gln) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000124 in 1,613,900 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 16/21 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely benign (★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R901W) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

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]

ACMG classification

Classification made for transcript

Verdict is Uncertain_significance. Variant got 2 ACMG points.

PM1
In a hotspot region, there are 2 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 1 benign, 7 uncertain in NM_198253.3
PM2
Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage;
PM5
Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr5-1264546-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity]. Clinvar id is 29901.We mark this variant Likely_pathogenic, oryginal submissions are: {not_provided=1, Likely_pathogenic=1, Uncertain_significance=1}.
BP4
Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.104599476).
BP6
Variant 5-1264545-C-T is Benign according to our data. Variant chr5-1264545-C-T is described in ClinVar as [Likely_benign]. Clinvar id is 471874.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars.
