Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | GeneDx | Jan 16, 2019 | The T251I missense variant in the POLG gene has been reported previously in association with several POLG-related disorders (Human DNA Polymerase Gamma Mutation Database). The T251I missense variant is typically found on the same allele (in cis) with the P587L variant and together they account for approximately 6% of disease-causing alleles in the POLG gene (Tang et al., 2011); however, the P587L variant was not observed in this patient. The T251I variant is observed in 195/66,122 (0.3%) alleles from individuals of European background, including 1 unrelated homozygous individual in the ExAC dataset (Lek et al., 2016; 1000 Genomes Consortium et al., 2015; Exome Variant Server). The T251I variant is a non-conservative amino acid substitution, which is likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues differ in polarity, charge, size and/or other properties. However, this substitution alters at a poorly conserved residue predicted to be in the exonuclease domain. In silico analysis is inconsistent in its predictions as to whether or not the variant is damaging to the protein structure/function. Therefore, we interpret T251I as a pathogenic variant. - |

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Breakthrough Genomics, Breakthrough Genomics | Feb 18, 2021 | The missense p.Thr251Ile has been previously reported in multiple studies with p.Pro587Leu and and reported as disease-causing alleles in patients with POLG-related diseases with a wide range of phenotypes [PMIDs: 25660390, 21880868, 19189930, 16621917, 14635118 and 15349879]. In addition, these two variants were found to be in-cis and co-segregated with disease phenotype in several families [PMID: 25660390, 19189930]. Additionally, in-vitro biochemical characterization showed that individually both p.Thr251Ile and p.Pro587Leu substitutions functionally impair pol γ activity. However, results also suggest a synergistic effect in terms of impaired DNA binding affinity, reduced thermostability, diminished exonuclease activity, defective catalytic activity, and compromised DNA processivity in the double mutant cells suggesting the pathogenicity of these variants [PMID: 28154168]. The heterozygous p.T251I+p.P587L (cis) allele reported to be associated with a relatively mild phenotype and reported as most common recessive mutation in POLG-related phenotypes [PMID: 18546365, 15689359]. - |

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp | Jan 31, 2024 | This sequence change replaces threonine, which is neutral and polar, with isoleucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 251 of the POLG protein (p.Thr251Ile). This variant is present in population databases (rs113994094, gnomAD 0.3%), and has an allele count higher than expected for a pathogenic variant. This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with autosomal recessive POLG-related conditions and in almost all cases it was observed on the same chromosome (in cis) with a second variant, p.Pro587Leu (PMID: 12210792, 15349879, 18546365, 19251978, 19566497, 19578034, 30423451, 30936349, 33396418). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. Additionally, the p.Thr251Ile variant has been observed independent from the p.Pro587Leu variant in individual(s) with autosomal recessive POLG-related conditions (PMID: 12707443, 22616202, 23921535). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 13503). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt POLG protein function with a negative predictive value of 95%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects POLG function (PMID: 28154168). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. - |

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | 3billion | Sep 01, 2022 | The variant is observed at an extremely low frequency in the gnomAD v2.1.1 dataset (total allele frequency: 0.154%). Missense changes are a common disease-causing mechanism. Same nucleotide change resulting in same amino acid change has been previously reported as pathogenic/likely pathogenic with strong evidence (ClinVar ID: VCV000013503). The variant was observed in cis with NM_002693.3:c.1760C>T (p.Pro587Leu) in many individuals affected with POLG-related diseases (PMID: 25660390, 14635118, 15349879, 16621917, 19189930, 21880868). Therefore, this variant is classified as Likely pathogenic according to the recommendation of ACMG/AMP guideline. - |

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Genetics and Molecular Pathology, SA Pathology | Dec 22, 2020 | This sequence change replaces threonine with isoleucine at codon 251 of the POLG protein (p.Thr251Ile). The threonine residue is weakly conserved and there is a moderate physicochemical difference between threonine and isoleucine. This variant is present in population databases (gnomAD 434/282672 heterozygotes, 1 homozygote). The variant has been reported in dbSNP (rs113994094). The variant has been reported with conflicting interpretations of pathogenicity by other diagnostic laboratories (ClinVar Variation ID: 13503). The two POLG variants (c.1760C>T and c.752C>T) detected in this patient have been reported in many individuals affected with POLG-related diseases, and in almost all cases they have been observed on the same chromosome (in cis) (PMID: 25660390, 14635118, 15349879, 16621917, 19189930, 21880868) (PS4_moderate). In many of these previously reported cases, the two variants in cis were observed on the opposite chromosome (in trans) from a third, pathogenic variant in an affected individual. The p.Pro587Leu and p.Thr251Ile variant combination in cis accounts for approximately 6% of disease-causing alleles in POLG-related disorders, mainly in Caucasians (PMID: 21880868). The p.Pro587Leu and Thr251Ile variants in cis have been reported to segregate with disease in several families (PMID: 12210792, 15349879) (PP1_moderate). Functional studies of the Thr251Ile and Pro587Leu variants revealed impaired DNA binding affinity, reduced thermostability, diminished exonuclease activity, defective catalytic activity and compromised DNA processivity; the Thr251Ile+Pro587Leu double variant showed a synergistic effect and had more severe dysfunction than the either of the variants alone (PMID: 28154168) (PS3). - |

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | DASA | Jan 05, 2022 | The c.752C>T;p.(Thr251Ile) missense variant has been observed in affected individual(s) and ClinVar contains an entry for this variant ClinVar ID: 13503; OMIM 174763.0007; PMID: 12210792; 12825077; 15349879; 26224072; 26742794PS4. The p.(Thr251Ile) was detected in trans with a pathogenic variant (PMID: 20385918) - PM3. The variant was observed in trans with a pathogenic variant for a fully penetrant dominant gene/disorder or observed in cis with a pathogenic variant in any inheritance pattern (PMID: 25660390) - BP2. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic. - |

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Foundation for Research in Genetics and Endocrinology, FRIGE's Institute of Human Genetics | Feb 13, 2021 | A heterozygous missense variation in exon 3 of the POLG gene that results in the amino acid substitution of Isoleucine for Threonine at codon251 was detected. The observed variant c.752C>T (p.Thr251lle) has a minor allele frequancy of 0.08% and 0.1% in the 1000 genomes and gnomAD databases respectively. The in silico prediction of the variant is benign by PolyPhen-2 (HumDiv), SIFT, LRT and MutationTaster2. The reference codon is conserved across species. In summary, the variant meets our criteria to be classified as a variant of uncertain significance. - |

Inborn genetic diseases Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Ambry Genetics | Jul 13, 2021 | The c.752C>T (p.T251I) alteration is located in exon 3 (coding exon 2) of the POLG gene. This alteration results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 752, causing the threonine (T) at amino acid position 251 to be replaced by an isoleucine (I). Based on the available evidence, the c.752C>T (p.T251I) alteration is classified as pathogenic for autosomal recessive POLG-related mitochondrial disorders; however, it is unlikely to be causative of autosomal dominant progressive external ophthalmoplegia. Based on data from the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD), the POLG c.752C>T alteration was observed in 0.15% (434/282672) of total alleles studied, with a frequency of 0.27% (344/129038) in the European (non-Finnish) subpopulation. This mutation has been reported to occur almost exclusively in cis with p.P587L (c.1760C>T) and this syntenic mutation combination accounts for approximately 6% of all disease causing alleles in POLG (Tang, 2011). This syntenic mutation combination has been detected alone, in trans with various other POLG mutations and alterations, and as homozygous, in individuals with Alpers syndrome, possible Kearns-Sayre syndrome, autosomal recessive external ophthalmoplegia (arPEO), neuropathy, myopathy, MNGIE, intellectual disability, and various other POLG-deficiency symptoms (Dames, 2013; Van Goethem, 2003; Blok, 2009; Uusimaa, 2013; Weiss, 2010; Horvath, 2006; Tang, 2011). Of note, this mutation has been detected without p.P587L (c.1760C>T) in an individual with Parkinson disease without another POLG alteration and in another individual who also carried POLG p.G848S (phase was not confirmed) with sensory ataxic neuropathy, dysarthria/dysphagia, and external ophthalmoplegia (SANDO) (Gáti, 2011; Gui, 2015). Biochemical characterization of T251I mutant revealed impaired DNA binding affinity, reduced thermostability, diminished exonuclease activity, defective catalytic activity, and compromised DNA processivity; T251I+P587L double mutant showed synergistic effect and had more severe dysfunction than T251I alone (DeBalsi, 2017). This alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as pathogenic. - |

The variant has conflicting predictions of pathogenicity, based on in silico data analysis (Polyphen-2 and SIFT - benign, Mutation-Taster - disease causing), with the position being poorly conserved and threonine and isoleucine having moderate physicochemical difference. The variant was identified in cis with variant POLG(NM_002693.3):c.1760C>T in a patient with Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. The patient is also carrier of variants GTPBP3(NM_032620.4):c.181G>C and GTPBP3(NM_032620.4):c.1199C>T in compound heterozygous state. - |

Tip-toe gait Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Practice for Gait Abnormalities, David Pomarino, Competency Network Toe Walking c/o Practice Pomarino | Feb 10, 2021 | The variant c.752C> T p. (Thr251Ile) [dbSNP: rs113994094, frequency: A = 0.15%, GnomAD] is rated by the majority (15 entries) as "probably pathogenic" and "pathogenic" in the ClinVar mutation database. Hereditary motor sensory neuropathy (HMSN), also known as Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease (CMT), is the most commonly inherited peripheral polyneuropathy. It constitutes a group of inherited, progressive, motor and sensory peripheral nerve disorders with properties of demyelination, axonal degeneration, or both. It is classified by clinical characteristics, modes of inheritance, electrophysiologic features, metabolic defects, and specific gene markers. Our patients all walk on tiptoe, so they show similar symptoms. When we genetically test them with our toe walking panel, we find that around 90 per cent of them have a genetic variant that explains their toe walking. These can be assigned, for example, to the area of myopathies (such as variants of the COL6A3 gene), the area of hereditary neuropathies (such as variants of the KMT2C gene) or the area of metabolic diseases (such as variants of the PYGM gene). In a smaller group of patients with almost identical symptoms, no abnormality is found in the genes of our panel, but spastic paraplegia can be detected. In another small group of our toe walkers, no abnormalities can be detected in the genes analysed in our toe walking panel, nor do they suffer from spastic paraplegia, as is also the case with healthy children. In contrast to these, however, they show a tiptoe gait. These patients suffer from infantile cerebral palsy, in which toe walking can also be observed. - |
