Is TERT p.Ser70= (c.210C>T) pathogenic?

TERT p.Ser70= (c.210C>T) is classified Likely benign in TERT (ClinVar, Multiple submitters, 3 submitters; last evaluated 2025-02-08). No allele count reported in gnomAD v4.1 (AN 1,535,760); Associated with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.

What condition is associated with TERT p.Ser70= (c.210C>T)?

TERT p.Ser70= (c.210C>T) is associated with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, dyskeratosis congenita, autosomal dominant 2, dyskeratosis congenita (ClinVar).

How common is TERT p.Ser70= (c.210C>T) in the general population?

TERT p.Ser70= (c.210C>T) is no allele count reported in gnomAD v4.1 (AN 1,535,760) (gnomAD).

How is Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis inherited?

Typically Multigenic/multifactorial (Orphanet). A genetic counselor can assess individual risk for a family.
