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]

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 627 of the POLG protein (p.Arg627Trp). This variant is present in population databases (rs121918046, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with POLG-related conditions (PMID: 12565911, 29302508). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 13499). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt POLG protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. This variant disrupts the p.Arg627 amino acid residue in POLG. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 15917273, 16621917, 17502560, 19752458). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Variant summary: POLG c.1879C>T (p.Arg627Trp) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant was absent in 249392 control chromosomes. c.1879C>T has been reported in the literature as a biallelic genotype in individuals affected with POLG spectrum of disorders (example, VanGoethem_2003, Horvath_2006, Nolte_2013). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 16621917, 22537151, 29302508, 14694057, 12565911). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 13499). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
