RCV002551093 | SCV002135864 | uncertain significance | Dyskeratosis congenita, autosomal dominant 2; Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis | 2021-07-27 | 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. Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt TERT protein function. 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 insufficient coverage at this position in the ExAC database. This sequence change replaces aspartic acid with valine at codon 684 of the TERT protein (p.Asp684Val). The aspartic acid residue is moderately conserved and there is a large physicochemical difference between aspartic acid and valine. |
