RCV002552970 | SCV002151304 | uncertain significance | Dyskeratosis congenita, autosomal dominant 2; Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis | 2021-10-17 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate insufficient coverage at this position in the ExAC database. This sequence change replaces proline with histidine at codon 438 of the TERT protein (p.Pro438His). The proline residue is moderately conserved and there is a moderate physicochemical difference between proline and histidine. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with TERT-related conditions. 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. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function are either unavailable or do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Deleterious"; PolyPhen-2: "Possibly Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0"). |
