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 Likely_benign. Variant got -2 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.58).

This variant is denoted POLD1 c.1137+3A>G or IVS9+3A>G and consists of an A>G nucleotide substitution at the +3 position of intron 9 of the POLD1 gene. Multiple in silico models predict this variant to damage or destroy the nearby natural donor site and to possibly cause abnormal gene splicing; however, in the absence of RNA or functional studies, the actual effect of this variant is unknown. This variant has not, to our knowledge, been published in the literature as pathogenic or benign. POLD1 c.1137+3A>G was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, suggesting it is not a common benign variant in these populations. The adenine (A) nucleotide that is altered is not conserved across species. Based on currently available information, it is unclear whether POLD1 c.1137+3A>G is pathogenic or benign. We consider it to be a variant of uncertain significance. -

ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 422824). 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. Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with POLD1-related conditions. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This sequence change falls in intron 9 of the POLD1 gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the POLD1 protein. It affects a nucleotide within the consensus splice site. -

The c.1137+3A>G intronic variant results from an A to G substitution 3 nucleotides after coding exon 8 in the POLD1 gene. This nucleotide position is poorly conserved in available vertebrate species. Using the BDGP and ESEfinder splice site prediction tools, this alteration is predicted to weaken the efficiency of the native splice donor site; however, direct evidence is unavailable. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
