Genetic Variant POLG:p.Gly1051Arg (chr15-89319053-C-T) – ACMG Classification: Pathogenic (28 pts)

Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 28 ACMG points: 28P and 0B. PS1_Very_StrongPS3PM1PM5PP3_StrongPP5_Very_Strong

The NM_002693.3(POLG):c.3151G>A(p.Gly1051Arg) variant causes a missense change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000013 in 1,614,032 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★). ClinVar reports functional evidence for this variant: "SCV000813255: Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects POLG function (PMID:17980715, 20185557)." and additional evidence is available in ClinVar. Another nucleotide change resulting in the same amino acid substitution has been previously reported as Likely pathogenic in ClinVar. Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. G1051W) has been classified as Uncertain significance. The gene POLG is included in the ClinGen Criteria Specification Registry.

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]
