Genes affected

PRIMPOL (HGNC:26575): (primase and DNA directed polymerase) This gene encodes a DNA primase-polymerase that belongs to a superfamily of archaeao-eukaryotic primases. Members of this family have primase activity, catalyzing the synthesis of short RNA primers that serve as starting points for DNA synthesis, as well as DNA polymerase activity. The encoded protein facilitates DNA damage tolerance by mediating uninterrupted fork progression after UV irradiation and reinitiating DNA synthesis. An allelic variant in this gene is associated with myopia 22. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2016]

The c.502C>T (p.R168W) alteration is located in exon 6 (coding exon 4) of the PRIMPOL gene. This alteration results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 502, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 168 to be replaced by a tryptophan (W). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
