Ambry Genetics | RCV004559540 | SCV002726545 | uncertain significance | Dyskeratosis congenita | 2022-03-14 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | The p.D684N variant (also known as c.2050G>A), located in coding exon 5 of the TERT gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 2050. The aspartic acid at codon 684 is replaced by asparagine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This amino acid position is conserved. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. |

RCV003774615 | SCV004571828 | uncertain significance | Dyskeratosis congenita, autosomal dominant 2; Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis | 2023-03-26 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | 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 output the following: SIFT: "Not Available"; PolyPhen-2: "Possibly Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Not Available". The asparagine amino acid residue is found in multiple mammalian species, which suggests that this missense change does not adversely affect protein function. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 1785071). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with TERT-related conditions. The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the gnomAD database. This sequence change replaces aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, with asparagine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 684 of the TERT protein (p.Asp684Asn). |
