RCV001990601 | SCV002250483 | likely pathogenic | Dyskeratosis congenita, autosomal recessive 5; Pulmonary fibrosis and/or bone marrow failure, Telomere-related, 3 | 2021-10-12 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This variant results in the deletion of part of exon 15 (c.1228_1266+39del) of the RTEL1 gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in RTEL1 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 23453664, 23959892, 25607374). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individual(s) with interstitial lung disease (PMID: 30523160). 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. |
