Genes affected
POLD1 (HGNC:9175): (DNA polymerase delta 1, catalytic subunit) This gene encodes the 125-kDa catalytic subunit of DNA polymerase delta. DNA polymerase delta possesses both polymerase and 3' to 5' exonuclease activity and plays a critical role in DNA replication and repair. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been observed for this gene, and a pseudogene of this gene is located on the long arm of chromosome 6. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2012]

This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 5 of the POLD1 gene. Missense variants that disrupt the 3'-5' exonuclease (proof-reading) activity of the POLD1 protein are associated with PPAP (polymerase proofreading–associated polyposis) (PMID: 23263490, 23447401). However, loss-of-function variants that result in an absent or severely disrupted POLD1 protein, and missense variants outside the exonuclease domain, are unlikely to be associated with PPAP. This variant is present in population databases (rs758877520, gnomAD 0.002%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with POLD1-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 372001). Studies have shown that disruption of this splice site is associated with inconclusive levels of altered splicing (Invitae). 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.

Canonical splice site variant predicted to result in a null allele, but clinical significance is uncertain; Some missense variants in POLD1 have been recognized as an underlying cause of Polymerase Proofreading-Associated Polyposis (PPAP); however, there are no data at this time to support that loss-of-function variants confer the same cancer risks; Not observed at a significant frequency in large population cohorts (Lek 2016); Has not been previously published as pathogenic or benign to our knowledge

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.590-2A>G intronic variant results from an A to G substitution two nucleotides upstream from coding exon 5 in the POLD1 gene. This nucleotide position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will weaken the native splice acceptor site. Alterations that disrupt the canonical splice site are expected to cause aberrant splicing, resulting in an abnormal protein or a transcript that is subject to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. However, loss of function of POLD1 has not been established as a mechanism of disease. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear.
