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

Variant summary: POLG c.2591A>G (p.Asn864Ser) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the DNA polymerase gamma, palm domain (IPR047580) 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 4e-06 in 251360 control chromosomes. c.2591A>G has been reported in the literature as a biallelic genotype in individuals affected with features of AR-Mitochondrial DNA Depletion Syndrome - POLG Related (example, Van Goethem_2003, Lund_2015, Jou_2019, Bychkov_2021). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function using the Saccharomyces Cerevisiae ortholog of human POLG (Stumpf_2010). The most pronounced variant effect results in significant decreases or total depletion of mtDNA, suggesting that mtDNA loss is characteristic of POLG-related disease. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 13506). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces asparagine, which is neutral and polar, with serine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 864 of the POLG protein (p.Asn864Ser). This variant is present in population databases (rs121918050, gnomAD 0.007%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with autosomal recessive POLG-related conditions (PMID: 12825077, 30634555, 32005694). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 13506). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt POLG protein function. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects POLG function (PMID: 20185557). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
