RCV002531480 | SCV000822353 | uncertain significance | Dyskeratosis congenita, autosomal dominant 2; Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis | 2018-04-27 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This sequence change replaces leucine with phenylalanine at codon 872 of the TERT protein (p.Leu872Phe). The leucine residue is highly conserved and there is a small physicochemical difference between leucine and phenylalanine. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with TERT-related disease. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Tolerated"; PolyPhen-2: "Probably Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C0"). 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. |
