Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Invitae | Nov 01, 2022 | This sequence change replaces proline, which is neutral and non-polar, with leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 587 of the POLG protein (p.Pro587Leu). This variant is present in population databases (rs113994096, 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 (p.Thr251Ile) variant (PMID: 12210792, 14635118, 15349879, 16621917, 19189930, 21880868, 25660390). 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. To date, the p.Pro587Leu variant has not been observed independent from the p.Thr251Ile variant in individuals with autosomal recessive POLG-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 13505). 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 expected to disrupt POLG protein function. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects POLG function (PMID: 28154168). In summary, this is a rare variant that is almost always observed in cis with a second variant. It has been shown to segregate with disease, and has also been observed in many individuals with sporadic disease. However, because it almost always occurs in cis with p.Thr251Ile, the individual contribution of this variant to disease cannot be disambiguated. For these reasons, this change has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. - |
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Wong Mito Lab, Molecular and Human Genetics, Baylor College of Medicine | Oct 01, 2018 | The NM_002693.2:c.1760C>T (NP_002684.1:p.Pro587Leu) [GRCH38: NC_000015.10:g.89325639G>A] variant in POLG gene is interpretated to be a Pathogenic based on ACMG guidelines (PMID: 25741868). This variant has been reported in PMID:15349879 ; 12825077 . This variant meets the following evidence codes reported in the ACMG-guideline. PS1:This variation causes same amino-acid change as an established pathogenic variant. PS3:Well established functional studies show a deleterious effect on POLG. PM2:This variant is absent in key population databases. PM3:Detected in trans with a pathogenic variant for Mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome 4A (Alpers type) which is a recessive disorder. PP1:This variant is co-segregated with Mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome 4A (Alpers type) in multiple affected family members. PP2:This is a missense variant in POLG with a low rate of benign and high rate of pathogenic missense variations. PP4:Patient's phenotype or family history is highly specific for POLG. Based on the evidence criteria codes applied, the variant is suggested to be 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. In silico tool predictions suggest damaging effect of the variant on gene or gene product (REVEL: 0.80; 3Cnet: 0.93). Same nucleotide change resulting in same amino acid change has been previously reported as pathogenic/likely pathogenic with strong evidence (ClinVar ID: VCV000013505). The variant was observed in cis with NM_002693.3:c.752C>T (p.Thr251Ile) 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. - |

POLG-related disorder Pathogenic:4
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Illumina Laboratory Services, Illumina | Jun 17, 2021 | The POLG c.1760C>T p.(Pro587Leu) missense variant is well described in the literature and has been reported in individuals with a phenotype consistent with POLG-related spectrum disorders (Van Goethem et al., 2003; Filosto et al. 2003; Lamantea et al. 2004; Wong et al., 2008; Ashley et al., 2008; Burusnukul et al. 2009; Weiss et al. 2010; Tang et al. 2011; Horvath et al., 2006; Dames et al. 2013; Helbling et al. 2013; Uusimaa et al. 2013). In almost all of the reported cases, the p.Pro587Leu variant was found in cis with p.Thr251Ile as the complex allele [p.Thr251Ile; p.Pro587Leu]. In an additional two individuals, the p.Pro587Leu variant was found as part of a complex allele with a p.Pro589Leu variant. The p.Pro587Leu variant has also been reported independently in three individuals from the same family in a heterozygous state displaying a dominant pattern of inheritance. Euro et al. (2011) assessed the structure-function relationships of variants in the POLG gene and reported that the p.Pro587Leu variant constrains the Beta-hairpin loop between the IP and AID subdomains and postulate it likely reduces processivity as a result of misalignment of the ptDNA with respect to the catalytic site. DeBalsi et al. (2017) investigated the biochemical properties of purified recombinant Pol gamma p.Pro587Leu protein expressed using the baculovirus Sf9 system. Experiments demonstrated that the p.Pro587Leu variant caused a two-fold reduction in DNA binding affinity and significantly reduced thermostability. The catalytic efficiency of the p.Pro587Leu protein was reduced to approximately 32% of the wildtype level. The [p.Thr251Ile; p.Pro587Leu] variant protein demonstrated a more severe catalytic dysfunction, retaining 5% activity compared to the wild type protein and suggesting that these two variants have a synergistic effect. Based on the collective evidence the p.Pro587Leu variant is classified as pathogenic when found as part of a complex allele and of uncertain significance when found independently. - |

Multiple lines of computational evidence support a deleterious effect on the gene or gene product - PP3. 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 | Institute of Human Genetics, University of Leipzig Medical Center | Jul 27, 2021 | Despite strong evidence for its pathogenicity, this variant has to be classified as of unknown significance, according to the ACMG-criteria (Richards et al., 2015) - |
Likely pathogenic, 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 10 of the POLG gene that results in the amino acid substitution of Leucine for Proline at codon587 was detected. The observed variant c.1760C>T (p.Pro587Leu) has a minor allele frequancy of 0.08% and 0.1% in the 1000 genomes and gnomAD databases. The in silico prediction of the variant is damaging 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 likely pathogenic. - |

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Genetics and Molecular Pathology, SA Pathology | Apr 05, 2023 | The POLG c.1760C>T variant is classified as LIKELY PATHOGENIC (PS3, PS4_moderate, PP1_moderate, PP3) This sequence change in exon 10 of 23 replaces proline with leucine at codon 587 of the POLG protein (p.Pro587Leu). This variant is present in population databases (gnomAD 232/152196 heterozygotes, 0 homozygote). The variant has been reported in dbSNP (rs113994096). The variant has been reported with conflicting interpretations of pathogenicity by other diagnostic laboratories (ClinVar Variation ID: 13505). Computational predictions support a deleterious effect on the gene or gene product (PP3). The variant has been reported in many individuals affected with POLG-related diseases, and in almost all cases it has been observed on the same chromosome (in cis) with the second (p.Thr251Ile) variant also detected in this patient (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). NO THIRD POLG variant was detected in this patient - |

Inborn genetic diseases Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Ambry Genetics | Jul 13, 2021 | The c.1760C>T (p.P587L) alteration is located in exon 10 (coding exon 9) of the POLG gene. This alteration results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 1760, causing the proline (P) at amino acid position 587 to be replaced by a leucine (L). Based on the available evidence, the c.1760C>T (p.P587L) 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.1760C>T alteration was observed in 0.15% (433/281158) of total alleles studied, with a frequency of 0.26% (341/128840) in the European (non-Finnish) subpopulation. This mutation has been reported to occur almost exclusively in cis with p.T251I (c.752C>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, autosomal recessive external ophthalmoplegia (arPEO), neuropathy, myopathy, MNGIE, intellectual disability, and various other POLG-deficiency symptoms (Van Goethem, 2003; Uusimaa, 2013; Weiss, 2010; Horvath, 2006; Tang, 2011). Of note, this mutation has been detected without p.T251I in conjunction with the p.R853W alteration (phase was not confirmed) in an individual with PEO, ptosis, and multiple mtDNA deletions (González-Vioque, 2006). Biochemical characterization of P587L 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 P587L alone (DeBalsi, 2017). This alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as pathogenic. - |

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Genetic Medico-Diagnostic Laboratory Genica | Oct 19, 2022 | The variant was classified as pathogenic according to the ACMG Guidelines, 2015. The variant was found with an allele frequency of 0.1540% (one reported homozygote) in the control populations from the gnomAD v2.1.1 project. In silico analysis by Polyphen-2, SIFT and Mutation-Taster predicted it as damaging. The amino acid change is in a highly conserved position and proline and leucine have moderate physicochemical difference. The variant was identified in cis with variant POLG(NM_002693.3):c.752C>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. - |
