Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp RCV002014245 SCV002301148 pathogenic Tumor predisposition syndrome 3 2023-07-14 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This sequence change affects the initiator methionine of the POT1 mRNA. The next in-frame methionine is located at codon 132. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with POT1-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1510948). This variant at the initiator codon is expected to affect translation initiation. Rescue of translation at the next in-frame methionine at codon 132 is expected to disrupt the oligonucleotide binding 1 (OB1) domain, which facilitates binding to ssDNA critical for POT1 and TPP1 dimerization (PMID: 23502782, 25934589). However, functional studies have not been performed for this specific variant. This variant disrupts a region of the POT1 protein in which other variant(s) (p.Arg117Cys) have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 26403419; Invitae). This suggests that this is a clinically significant region of the protein, and that variants that disrupt it are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
