Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp RCV002560492 SCV002203809 uncertain significance Dyskeratosis congenita, autosomal dominant 2; Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis 2021-02-18 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with TERT-related conditions. 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 affects codon 651 of the TERT mRNA. It is a 'silent' change, meaning that it does not change the encoded amino acid sequence of the TERT protein. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site, but this prediction has not been confirmed by published transcriptional studies. 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.
