Genes affected
POLG (HGNC:9179): (DNA polymerase gamma, catalytic subunit) Mitochondrial DNA polymerase is heterotrimeric, consisting of a homodimer of accessory subunits plus a catalytic subunit. The protein encoded by this gene is the catalytic subunit of mitochondrial DNA polymerase. The encoded protein contains a polyglutamine tract near its N-terminus that may be polymorphic. Defects in this gene are a cause of progressive external ophthalmoplegia with mitochondrial DNA deletions 1 (PEOA1), sensory ataxic neuropathy dysarthria and ophthalmoparesis (SANDO), Alpers-Huttenlocher syndrome (AHS), and mitochondrial neurogastrointestinal encephalopathy syndrome (MNGIE). Two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Submissions by phenotype

Progressive sclerosing poliodystrophy Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeOct 05, 2022This sequence change falls in intron 21 of the POLG gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the POLG protein. It affects a nucleotide within the consensus splice site. This variant is present in population databases (rs55779802, gnomAD 0.09%). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of POLG-related conditions (PMID: 33278787). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 458716). Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant is not likely to affect RNA splicing. 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. -
POLG-related disorder Benign:1
Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingPreventionGenetics, part of Exact SciencesAug 09, 2019This variant is classified as likely benign based on ACMG/AMP sequence variant interpretation guidelines (Richards et al. 2015 PMID: 25741868, with internal and published modifications). -
