Description

The p.R865C variant (also known as c.2593C>T), located in coding exon 10 of the TERT gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 2593. The arginine at codon 865 is replaced by cysteine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. This variant was identified in an individual with pulmonary fibrosis, neutropenia, and shortened telomere length (Tsakiri KD et al. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A., 2007 May;104:7552-7; Diaz de Leon A et al. PLoS ONE, 2010 May;5:e10680; Newton CA et al. Eur. Respir. J., 2016 12;48:1710-1720). Telomerase activity analysis in vitro and in human cells demonstrated a reduced activity compared to wild type (Tsang AR et al. Aging Cell, 2012 Jun;11:482-90). A disease-causing mutation, p.R865H, has been described in the same codon (Tsakiri KD et al. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A., 2007 May;104:7552-7). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic.
