Genes affected

POT1 (HGNC:17284): (protection of telomeres 1) This gene is a member of the telombin family and encodes a nuclear protein involved in telomere maintenance. Specifically, this protein functions as a member of a multi-protein complex that binds to the TTAGGG repeats of telomeres, regulating telomere length and protecting chromosome ends from illegitimate recombination, catastrophic chromosome instability, and abnormal chromosome segregation. Increased transcriptional expression of this gene is associated with stomach carcinogenesis and its progression. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described.

Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); Has not been previously published as pathogenic or benign to our knowledge; In silico analysis is inconclusive as to whether the variant alters gene splicing. In the absence of RNA/functional studies, the actual effect of this sequence change is unknown. -

The c.1686+4A>G intronic variant results from an A to G substitution 4 nucleotides after coding exon 13 in the POT1 gene. This nucleotide position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration may weaken the native splice donor site; however, direct evidence is insufficient at this time (Ambry internal data). Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -

ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 475056). 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. Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. This variant has been observed in individual(s) with melanoma (Invitae). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change falls in intron 17 of the POT1 gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the POT1 protein. It affects a nucleotide within the consensus splice site. -
