Genes affected
POLG (HGNC:9179): (DNA polymerase gamma, catalytic subunit) Mitochondrial DNA polymerase is heterotrimeric, consisting of a homodimer of accessory subunits plus a catalytic subunit. The protein encoded by this gene is the catalytic subunit of mitochondrial DNA polymerase. The encoded protein contains a polyglutamine tract near its N-terminus that may be polymorphic. Defects in this gene are a cause of progressive external ophthalmoplegia with mitochondrial DNA deletions 1 (PEOA1), sensory ataxic neuropathy dysarthria and ophthalmoparesis (SANDO), Alpers-Huttenlocher syndrome (AHS), and mitochondrial neurogastrointestinal encephalopathy syndrome (MNGIE). Two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Progressive sclerosing poliodystrophy Pathogenic:2
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWong Mito Lab, Molecular and Human Genetics, Baylor College of MedicineOct 01, 2018The NM_002693.2:c.2794C>T (NP_002684.1:p.His932Tyr) [GRCH38: NC_000015.10:g.89320953G>A] variant in POLG gene is interpretated to be a Pathogenic based on ACMG guidelines (PMID: 25741868). This variant has been reported in PMID:14635118 . 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. 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. 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. -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpOct 29, 2023This sequence change replaces histidine, which is basic and polar, with tyrosine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 932 of the POLG protein (p.His932Tyr). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with POLG-related conditions (PMID: 14745080, 20837862, 29358615). 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. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 13500). 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 with a positive predictive value of 95%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects POLG function (PMID: 17980715). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
Mitochondrial disease Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingVictorian Clinical Genetics Services, Murdoch Childrens Research InstituteOct 19, 2020Based on the classification scheme VCGS_Germline_v1.3.3, this variant is classified as Pathogenic. Following criteria are met: 0102 - Loss of function is a known mechanism of disease in this gene and is associated with POLG-related mitochondrial disorder. (I) 0108 - This gene is associated with both recessive and dominant disease (OMIM). (I) 0112 - The condition associated with this gene has incomplete penetrance (OMIM). (I) 0200 - Variant is predicted to result in a missense amino acid change from histidine to tyrosine. (I) 0251 – This variant is heterozygous. (I) 0301 - Variant is absent from gnomAD (v2 and v3). (SP) 0501 - Missense variant consistently predicted to be damaging by multiple in silico tools or highly conserved with a major amino acid change. (SP) 0600 - Variant is located in an annotated domain or motif (DNA polymerase family A domain; NCBI). (I) 0705 - No comparable missense variants have previous evidence for pathogenicity. (I) 0801 - This variant has strong previous evidence of pathogenicity in unrelated individuals. This variant has been previously reported as pathogenic in patients with POLG-related mitochondrial disorder (ClinVar, PMID: 20837862, 21880868, 29358615). (SP) 1002 - This variant has moderate functional evidence supporting abnormal protein function. Functional studies show that this variant reduces the kinetic efficiency governing correct nucleotide incorporation (PMID:20685647). (SP) 1208 - Inheritance information for this variant is not currently available in this individual. (I) Legend: (SP) - Supporting pathogenic, (I) - Information, (SB) - Supporting benign -
Mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpJun 13, 2024Variant summary: POLG c.2794C>T (p.His932Tyr) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the DNA polymerase gamma, palm domain (IPR047580) of the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant was absent in 250848 control chromosomes. c.2794C>T has been reported in the literature in the compound heterozygous state in multiple individuals affected with POLG-related conditions (e.g. Castiglioni_2018, DiFonzo_2003, Mancuso_2004, Tang_2011) and segregated with disease in at least one family (e.g. Mancuso_2004). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. At least one in vitro study in yeast reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function (e.g. Baruffini_2010). This variant is also known as c.3076C>T. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 17980715, 29358615, 14635118, 20837862, 14745080, 21880868). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 13500). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
