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]

The M1116V variant in the POLG gene has not been reported previously as a pathogenic variant, nor as a benign variant, to our knowledge. The M1116V variant is not observed in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016; 1000 Genomes Consortium et al., 2015; Exome Variant Server). The M1116V variant is a conservative amino acid substitution, which is not likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues share similar properties. This substitution occurs at a position that is conserved across species, and in silico analysis predicts this variant is probably damaging to the protein structure/function. We interpret M1116V as a variant of uncertain significance. -

Variant summary: POLG c.3346A>G (p.Met1116Val) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the DNA-directed DNA polymerase, family A, palm domain (IPR001098) of the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 2.4e-05 in 251472 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.3346A>G has been reported in the literature in the heterozygous state as a VUS in an individual affected with a mitochondrial disease who met Nijmegen criteria and underwent multigene panel testing (Davis_2022). This report does not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Mitochondrial DNA Depletion Syndrome - POLG Related. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publication has been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 35641312). Four clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 and all classified the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

This sequence change replaces methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, with valine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 1116 of the POLG protein (p.Met1116Val). This variant is present in population databases (rs201144044, gnomAD 0.004%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features consistent with POLG-related conditions (PMID: 35641312). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 206561). 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%. 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. -
