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]

Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis;C3151443:Dyskeratosis congenita, autosomal dominant 2 Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeAug 04, 2023In 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. 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) has been performed at Invitae for this missense variant, however the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on TERT protein function. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 539201). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with hypersensitivity pneumonitis (PMID: 31268371). This variant is present in population databases (rs775014633, gnomAD 0.0009%). This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with valine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 855 of the TERT protein (p.Ala855Val). -
