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]

The POLD1 c.2954G>C; p.Arg985Pro variant (rs749159160), to our knowledge, is not reported in the medical literature but is reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 408108). This variant is only observed on one allele in the Genome Aggregation Database, indicating it is not a common polymorphism. The arginine at codon 985 is weakly conserved, but computational analyses (SIFT, PolyPhen-2) predict that this variant may be deleterious. Due to limited information, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain at this time.

The p.Arg985Pro variant in POLD1 has not been previously reported in the literat ure in individuals with colorectal cancer but has been reported in ClinVar (Vari ation ID 408108). This variant was absent from large population studies. Computa tional prediction tools and conservation analysis suggest that the p.Arg985Pro v ariant may impact the protein, though this information is not predictive enough to determine pathogenicity. In summary, the clinical significance of the p.Arg98 5Pro variant is uncertain.

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

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with proline, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 985 of the POLD1 protein (p.Arg985Pro). This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD no frequency). 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: 408108). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be disruptive. 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.

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

The c.2954G>C (p.R985P) alteration is located in exon 24 (coding exon 23) of the POLD1 gene. This alteration results from a G to C substitution at nucleotide position 2954, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 985 to be replaced by a proline (P). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear.
