Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 13 ACMG points: 13P and 0B. PS3PP3PP5_Very_Strong

The NM_002693.3(POLG):c.3104+3A>T variant causes a splice region, intron change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000192 in 1,614,058 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 3/3 splice prediction tools predicting alterations to normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Pathogenic (★★). ClinVar reports functional evidence for this variant: "SCV000887119: "Well established functional studies show a deleterious effect on POLG." PMID:21670405; SCV003840650: Non-canonical splice site variant demonstrated to result in loss of function (PMID:21670405, 23446635); SCV004229892: Assessment of experimental evidence suggests this variant results in abnormal protein function. (PMID:23446635); SCV005397474: R sequencing confirms that this variant disrupts proper splicing, removes exon 19 from the transcript, and causes the in-frame deletion of a portion of the POLG polymerase finger domain (PMID:23446635, 21670405). Further alysis confirms that this altered splicing results in a shortened protein product that fails to replicate D and has negligible exonuclease activity (PMID:23446635).".

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]
