Genes affected

POLR3B (HGNC:30348): (RNA polymerase III subunit B) This gene encodes the second largest subunit of RNA polymerase III, the polymerase responsible for synthesizing transfer and small ribosomal RNAs in eukaryotes. The largest subunit and the encoded protein form the catalytic center of RNA polymerase III. Mutations in this gene are a cause of hypomyelinating leukodystrophy. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2011]

The p.Arg550Ter variant in POLR3B has been reported in 1 individual in the compound heterozygous state with 4H leukodystrophy (PMID: 22036171), and has been identified in 0.003% (1/34550) of Latino/Admixed American chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP ID: rs267608688). Although this variant has been seen in the general population in a heterozygous state, its frequency is low enough to be consistent with a recessive carrier frequency. This variant has also been reported in ClinVar (Variation ID#: 31162) and has been interpreted as pathogenic by GeneReviews and OMIM. In vitro functional studies provide some evidence that the p.Arg550Ter variant may impact protein function (PMID: 22036171). However, these types of assays may not accurately represent biological function. This nonsense variant leads to a premature termination codon at position 550, which is predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Loss of function of the POLR3B gene is an established disease mechanism in autosomal recessive 4H leukodystrophy. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal recessive4H leukodystrophy. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PVS1, PS3_moderate, PM2_supporting (Richards 2015). -
