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]

Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWong Mito Lab, Molecular and Human Genetics, Baylor College of MedicineOct 01, 2018The NM_002693.2:c.3294T>C (NP_002684.1:p.Asn1098=) [GRCH38: NC_000015.10:g.89318729A>G] variant in POLG gene is interpretated to be a Likely Benign based on ACMG guidelines (PMID: 25741868). 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). BP4:Computational evidence/predictors indicate no impact on the POLG structure, function, or protein-protein interaction. BP7:The variant is silent with non predicted splice impact. Based on the evidence criteria codes applied, the variant is suggested to be Likely Benign. -

Mitochondrial disease Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, reviewed by expert panelcurationClinGen Mitochondrial Disease Nuclear and Mitochondrial Variant Curation Expert Panel, ClinGenMay 06, 2021The c.3294T>C (p.Asn1098=) variant in POLG is present in population databases at the following frequencies: gnomAD Allele Frequency: 0.00028 with 0 homozygotes (PM2). This is a silent variant and no change in the amino acid (BP7). It has not been published in the literature. In summary, there is insufficient evidence to characterize this variant and therefore it remains a variant of uncertain significance for primary mitochondrial disease inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. ntDNA Mitochondrial ACMG-AMP Criteria for POLG applied: PM2, BP7 -
