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.

Likely pathogenic, no assertion criteria provided	clinical testing	Center of Human Genetics, Hôpital Erasme	-	The variant is rare in gnomADv4 (14/1607628 alleles ; frequency : 0.00087%). Isoleucine 78 is an amino acid that seems very conserved in evolution except in zebrafish. The variant has been reported in an individual with multiple primary melanomas (PMID: 24686846), in several families with melanoma (PMID: 30586141_2018) and in an individual with 2 melanomas and thyroid cancer (PMID: 30451293_2019). This variant is located in the DNA binding domain of POT1 and was recently shown to impair the ability of POT1 to bind to telomeres (PMID:30586141_2018). The patient's phenotype and family history are compatible with the pathology associated with POT1 gene. -
Pathogenic, no assertion criteria provided	literature only	OMIM	Sep 26, 2023	- -
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Jan 31, 2024	This sequence change replaces isoleucine, which is neutral and non-polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 78 of the POT1 protein (p.Ile78Thr). This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.03%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with clinical features consistent with POT1-related conditions (PMID: 24686846, 30586141, 34193977; Invitae). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 475073). 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 not expected to disrupt POT1 protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects POT1 function (PMID: 30586141). In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Quest Diagnostics Nichols Institute San Juan Capistrano	Dec 15, 2023	The POT1 c.233T>C (p.Ile78Thr) variant has been reported in the published literature in individuals with melanoma (PMID: 37140166 (2023), 36876055 (2023), 30586141 (2019), 30451293 (2019), 24686846 (2014)). This variant has also been identified in an individual with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (PMID: 34193977 (2021)). In addition, this variant has been shown to have a deleterious effect on POT1 protein function (PMID: 37140166 (2023), 30586141 (2019)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.000016 (4/246852 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is uninformative in the assessment of its pathogenicity. Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded predictions that this variant is damaging. Based on the available information, this variant is classified as likely pathogenic. -

The p.I78T variant (also known as c.233T>C), located in coding exon 3 of the POT1 gene, results from a T to C substitution at nucleotide position 233. The isoleucine at codon 78 is replaced by threonine, an amino acid with similar properties. This alteration has been observed in multiple individuals with a personal and/or family history that is consistent with POT1-related disease (Wong K et al. JAMA Dermatol, 2019 05;155:604-609; Potrony M et al. Br J Dermatol, 2019 07;181:105-113; Goldstein AM et al. JAAD Int, 2023 Jun;11:43-51; Shi J et al. Nat. Genet. 2014 May;46:482-6; DeBoy EA et al. N Engl J Med, 2023 May; Abu Shtaya A et al. Genes (Basel), 2024 Mar;15; Ambry internal data). However, this variant has also been identified in individuals without melanoma or other POT1 related tumors (Ambry internal data). This alteration was also identified in an individual diagnosed with CML and a second individual diagnosed with CLL (Lim TL et al. Leukemia, 2022 01;36:283-287). Haplotype analysis performed in unrelated carriers of p.I78T identified a common haplotype, suggestive of a founder event (Wong K et al. JAMA Dermatol, 2019 05;155:604-609). Multiple in vitro functional studies indicated that the p.I78T variant was unable to bind telomeres compared to wild type, resulting in elongated telomeres following ectopic expression (Wong K et al. JAMA Dermatol, 2019 05;155:604-609; DeBoy EA et al. N Engl J Med, 2023 May). Direct measurements from patient cells also showed longer telomeres as compared to controls (DeBoy EA et al. N Engl J Med, 2023 May). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the supporting evidence, this variant is interpreted as a disease-causing mutation. -
