Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 4 ACMG points: 4P and 0B. PP3_Strong

The NM_002693.3(POLG):c.2596C>T(p.Arg866Trp) variant causes a missense, splice region change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000255 in 1,608,114 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. 3/3 splice prediction tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R866Q) has been classified as Likely benign.

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]

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Available data are insufficient to determine the clinical significance of the variant at this time. The frequency of this variant in the general population is uninformative in assessment of its pathogenicity (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). Computational tools predict that this variant is damaging. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.R866W variant (also known as c.2596C>T), located in coding exon 15 of the POLG gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 2596. The arginine at codon 866 is replaced by tryptophan, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. In one study, this alteration was detected in 2/796 Japanese individuals with bipolar disorder and in 1/767 controls (Kasahara T et al. Psychiatry Clin. Neurosci., 2017 Aug;71:518-529). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 866 of the POLG protein (p.Arg866Trp). This variant is present in population databases (rs748777396, gnomAD 0.007%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with Parkinson‚Äôs disease (PMID: 32613234). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 502515). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be disruptive. 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. -
