Genes affected

POLK (HGNC:9183): (DNA polymerase kappa) This gene encodes a member of the DNA polymerase type-Y family of proteins. The encoded protein is a specialized DNA polymerase that catalyzes translesion DNA synthesis, which allows DNA replication in the presence of DNA lesions. Human cell lines lacking a functional copy of this gene exhibit impaired genome integrity and enhanced susceptibility to oxidative damage. Mutations in this gene that impair enzyme activity may be associated with prostate cancer in human patients. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2016]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Uncertain_significance. Variant got 2 ACMG points.

• PM1: In a domain UmuC (size 255) in uniprot entity POLK_HUMAN there are 4 pathogenic changes around while only 0 benign (100%) in ENST00000241436.9
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.075387955).

The c.850G>C (p.V284L) alteration is located in exon 7 (coding exon 6) of the POLK gene. This alteration results from a G to C substitution at nucleotide position 850, causing the valine (V) at amino acid position 284 to be replaced by a leucine (L). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
