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]

Variant summary: The POLD1 c.3054G>A (p.Val1018Val) variant involves the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide causes a synonymous change and 4/5 splice prediction tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. ESE finder predicts that this variant may alter ESE binding. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. This variant was found in 89/139890 control chromosomes at a frequency of 0.0006362, which is approximately 45 times the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic POLD1 variant (0.0000142), suggesting this variant is likely a benign polymorphism. In addition, multiple clinical diagnostic laboratories/reputable databases classified this variant as benign/likely benign. Taken together, this variant is classified as Benign. -

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.Val1018= variant was not identified in the literature. The variant was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs369613619) “With Likely benign allele”, and ClinVar (classified with conflicting interpretations of pathogenicity; submitters: benign by Invitae and 2 other laboratories, likely benign by GeneDx, Ambry Genetics, Prevention Genetics and 2 other laboratories, and uncertain significance by EGL Genetic Diagnostics (Eurofins Clinical Genetics)).The variant was identified in control databases in 89 of 162606 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.0005 increasing the likelihood this could be a low frequency benign variant (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). The variant was observed in the following populations: African in 3 of 15192 chromosomes (freq: 0.0002), Other in 2 of 4524 chromosomes (freq: 0.0004), Latino in 17 of 24616 chromosomes (freq: 0.0007), European Non-Finnish in 63 of 64570 chromosomes (freq: 0.001), European Finnish in 4 of 11144 chromosomes (freq: 0.0004), while not observed in the Ashkenazi Jewish, East Asian, and South Asian populations. The variant was also identified by our laboratory in 1 individual with pancreatic cancer, co-occurring with a pathogenic ATM variant (c.8418+5_8418+8del, r.spl?), increasing the likelihood the variant has little clinical significance. The p.Val1018= variant is not expected to have clinical significance because it does not result in a change of amino acid and is not located in a known consensus splice site. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and 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 although we would lean towards a more benign role for this variant. This variant is classified as likely benign. -
