Genes affected

POLD1 (HGNC:9175): (DNA polymerase delta 1, catalytic subunit) This gene encodes the 125-kDa catalytic subunit of DNA polymerase delta. DNA polymerase delta possesses both polymerase and 3' to 5' exonuclease activity and plays a critical role in DNA replication and repair. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been observed for this gene, and a pseudogene of this gene is located on the long arm of chromosome 6. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2012]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 14 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Splicing variant, LoF is a know mechanism of disease, Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 6.4, offset of 41, new splice context is: ctgGTaggg. Cryptic site results in frameshift change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in frameshift change.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: Splicing scoreres supports a deletorius effect: Scorers claiming Pathogenic: dbscSNV1_ADA, dbscSNV1_RF, max_spliceai. No scorers claiming Uncertain. No scorers claiming Benign.

This variant is denoted POLD1 c.-2+1G>C or IVS1+1G>C and consists of a G>C nucleotide substitution at the +1 position of intron 1 of the POLD1 gene. Of note, exon 1 of POLD1 is a non coding exon, therefore this nucleotide substitution occurs prior to the POLD1 ATG translational start site which is located in exon 2. While this variant destroys the canonical splice donor site in intron 1, possibly leading to exon 1 skipping, it is unknown whether this change will affect the promoter and/or protein translation. POLD1 c.-2+1G>C has been reported in familial pancreatic cancer kindred (Roberts 2016). Based on currently available information, it is unclear whether POLD1 c.-2+1G>C is pathogenic or benign. We consider it to be a variant of uncertain significance. -
