Variants pathogenicity by type

Statistics on ClinVar variants can assist in determining whether a specific variant type in the POLN gene is commonly pathogenic or not. These statistics are base on transcript: NM_000181808.4. Only rare variants are included in the table.

In the table, we include only reliable ClinVar variants with their consequences to MANE Select, Mane Plus Clinical transcripts, or transcripts with TSL equals 1. Click the count to view the source variants.

Warning: slight differences between displayed counts and the number of variants in ClinVar may occur, primarily due to (1) the application of a different transcript and/or consequence by our variant effect predictor or (2) differences in clinical significance: we classify Benign/Likely benign variants as Likely benign and Pathogenic/Likely pathogenic variants as Likely pathogenic.

• Function: FUNCTION: DNA polymerase with very low fidelity that catalyzes considerable misincorporation by inserting dTTP opposite a G template, and dGTP opposite a T template (PubMed:16787914, PubMed:17118716). Is the least accurate of the DNA polymerase A family (i.e. POLG, POLN and POLQ) (PubMed:17118716). Can perform accurate translesion DNA synthesis (TLS) past a 5S-thymine glycol. Can perform efficient strand displacement past a nick or a gap and gives rise to an amount of product similar to that on non-damaged template. Has no exonuclease activity (PubMed:16787914). Error- prone DNA polymerase that preferentially misincorporates dT regardless of template sequence (PubMed:25775266). May play a role in TLS during interstrand cross-link (ICL) repair (PubMed:19908865). May be involved in TLS when genomic replication is blocked by extremely large major groove DNA lesions. May function in the bypass of some DNA-protein and DNA-DNA cross- links. May have a role in cellular tolerance to DNA cross-linking agents (PubMed:20102227). Involved in the repair of DNA cross- links and double-strand break (DSB) resistance. Participates in FANCD2-mediated repair. Forms a complex with HELQ helicase that participates in homologous recombination (HR) repair and is essential for cellular protection against DNA cross-links (PubMed:19995904). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16787914, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17118716, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19908865, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19995904, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20102227, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25775266}.
