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]

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

In the published literature, this variant has been reported in individuals affected with an advanced adenoma (PMID: 33436027 (2021)), colorectal cancer (PMID: 25559809 (2015)), and in a woman affected with both colorectal cancer and endometrial cancer (PMID: 32424176 (2020)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.000073 (5/68286 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is uninformative in the assessment of its pathogenicity. Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded predictions that this variant is benign. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.P347L variant (also known as c.1040C>T), located in coding exon 8 of the POLD1 gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 1040. The proline at codon 347 is replaced by leucine, an amino acid with similar properties. This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -

PreventionGenetics, part of Exact Sciences
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:no assertion criteria provided
Collection Method:clinical testing

The POLD1 c.1040C>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Pro347Leu. This variant has been reported in at least one individual with rectal cancer (Chubb et al. 2015. PubMed ID: 25559809. This variant is reported in 0.0085% of alleles in individuals of South Asian descent in gnomAD. The ClinVar database lists this variant as uncertain (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/408024/). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces proline, which is neutral and non-polar, with leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 347 of the POLD1 protein (p.Pro347Leu). This variant is present in population databases (rs2230243, gnomAD 0.008%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with colorectal cancer and/or endometrial cancer (PMID: 25559809, 32424176). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 408024). 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 not expected to disrupt POLD1 protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. 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. -
