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]

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Wong Mito Lab, Molecular and Human Genetics, Baylor College of Medicine	Oct 01, 2018	The NM_002693.2:c.3436C>T (NP_002684.1:p.Arg1146Cys) [GRCH38: NC_000015.10:g.89318587G>A] variant in POLG gene is interpretated to be a Benign based on ACMG guidelines (PMID: 25741868). This variant has been reported in PMID:16401742 . This variant meets the following evidence codes reported in the ACMG-guideline. BS1:The minor allele frequency of this allele is high for Mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome 4A (Alpers type). BS2:Observation of the variant in controls is inconsistent with penetrance of Mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome 4A (Alpers type). Based on the evidence criteria codes applied, the variant is suggested to be Benign. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Nov 03, 2022	This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 1146 of the POLG protein (p.Arg1146Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs2307440, gnomAD 0.03%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with autosomal dominant progressive external ophthalmoplegia and/or mitochondrial disease (PMID: 16401742, 20843780, 21880868, 30838265). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 21313). 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 expected to disrupt POLG protein function. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects POLG function (PMID: 25462018). 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. -

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Baylor Genetics	May 04, 2019	This variant was determined to be of uncertain significance according to ACMG Guidelines, 2015 [PMID:25741868]. This variant has been previously reported in patients with mitochondrial disorders [PMID 16401742] -

Uncertain:3

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Athena Diagnostics	Feb 28, 2023	Available data are insufficient to determine the clinical significance of the variant at this time. The frequency of this variant in the general population is uninformative in assessment of its pathogenicity (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). Assessment of experimental analysis yielded inconclusive results regarding the impact of this variant on protein function. Functional analysis of the yeast homologue of this variant indicates that it is damaging to protein function; however, these results have not been confirmed in vitro in human cell types. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	CeGaT Center for Human Genetics Tuebingen	Oct 01, 2023	POLG: PP3 -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	GeneDx	Dec 11, 2023	Identified heterozygous in an adult with diplopia, dysarthria, and dysphagia, loss skills, cerebellar dysarthria, severe horizontal and vertical external ophthalmoparesis, esotropia, slight left ptosis, and asymmetric facial muscle weakness. The proband's mother with strabismus was also heterozygous (PMID: 30838265); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 21880868, 20843780, 15913923, 20220442, 25462018, 19275594, 31996268, 34828412, 16401742, 30838265, 34803902) -
