Description

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 117 of the POT1 protein (p.Arg117Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs780936436, gnomAD 0.0009%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with clinical features of POT1 tumor predisposition syndrome (PMID: 26403419; Invitae). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 475082). 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 not expected to disrupt POT1 protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects POT1 function (PMID: 26403419). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.

Description

Sarcoma at 65, cutaneous melanoma at 66, colon cancer at 67 + family history of cancers

Description

The variant is rare in gnomADv4 (2/1461660 alleles, frequency : 0.00014%). Arginine at position 117 is an amino acid that appears to be highly conserved in evolution. The variant is located in the Telomeric single stranded DNA binding domain. The variant has been describred in 3 “Li-Fraumeni-like” families with multiple cancers including cardiosarcomas but also melanomas or lung cancers. In silico, in vitro and in vivo studies in cells showed that the variant reduces POT1 binding to telomeres and increases telomere length and fragility (PMID:26403419_2015). Another study by the same author showed the presence of a POT1 mutation in 20% of families with angiosarcomas and 10% of individuals with sporadic angio or cardiosarcoma (PMID:28853721_2017). The patient's phenotype and family history are compatible with the pathology associated with POT1 gene.
