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]

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.2953+4C>G intronic variant results from a C to G substitution 4 nucleotides after coding exon 22 in the POLD1 gene. This nucleotide position is poorly conserved in available vertebrate species. In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration may weaken the native splice donor site. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -
