Genes affected

POLR3A (HGNC:30074): (RNA polymerase III subunit A) The protein encoded by this gene is the catalytic component of RNA polymerase III, which synthesizes small RNAs. The encoded protein also acts as a sensor to detect foreign DNA and trigger an innate immune response. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2011]

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

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. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be tolerated. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 549572). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with Wiedemann-Rautenstrauch syndrome (PMID: 30323018). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. This variant is present in population databases (rs138305578, gnomAD 0.03%). This sequence change replaces lysine, which is basic and polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 1131 of the POLR3A protein (p.Lys1131Arg). -

Collection Method:curation

The p.Lys1131Arg variant in POLR3A has been reported in 2 individuals with POLR3A-related disorders (PMID: 30323018, Yananoto et al. 2017), and has been identified in 0.05% (13/24956) of African chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP ID: rs138305578). Although this variant has been seen in the general population in a heterozygous state, its frequency is not high enough to rule out a pathogenic role. This Lys1131Arg variant has also been reported in ClinVar (Variation ID#: 549572) and has been interpreted as likely pathogenic by the Tartaglia Lab (Genetics and Rare Diseases Research Division, Bambino Gesu' Children's Hospital) and as a variant of uncertain significance by Invitae. Of the 2 affected individuals, 1 was a compound heterozygote that carried a likely pathogenic variant in trans, which increases the likelihood that the p.Lys1131Arg variant is pathogenic (PMID: 30323018). Computational prediction tools and conservation analyses suggest that this variant may impact the protein, though this information is not predictive enough to determine pathogenicity. The p.Lys1131Arg variant is located in a region of POLR3A that is essential to protein folding and stability, suggesting that this variant is in a functional domain and slightly supports pathogenicity (PMID: 30323018). In summary, while there is some suspicion for a pathogenic role, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PP3, PM3, PM1_supporting (Richards 2015). -
