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]

Significance: Likely benign

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant is considered likely benign or benign based on one or more of the following criteria: it is a conservative change, it occurs at a poorly conserved position in the protein, it is predicted to be benign by multiple in silico algorithms, and/or has population frequency not consistent with disease. -

Significance: Likely benign

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -

The POLD1 p.Arg454= variant was not identified in the literature. The variant was identified in dbSNP (rs773075581) as “with likely benign allele” and ClinVar (classified as likely benign by GeneDx, Invitae and Ambry Genetics). The variant was identified in control databases in 16 of 251,188 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.00006 (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). The variant was observed in the following populations: European in 14 of 113,624 chromosomes (freq: 0.0001), African in 1 of 16,246 chromosomes (freq: 0.00006), and South Asian in 1 of 30,610 chromosomes (freq: 0.00003); it was not observed in the Latino, Ashkenazi Jewish, East Asian, Finnish or Other populations. The p.Arg454= variant is not expected to have clinical significance because it does not result in a change of amino acid and occurs at a non-highly conserved nucleotide outside of the splicing consensus sequence. However, 1 of 4 in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer) predict a greater than 10% difference in splicing; this is not very predictive of pathogenicity. In summary, based on the above information, the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time. This variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance. -
