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]

Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; Observed in an individual with low grade glioma in published literature (PMID: 26580448); Published functional studies support no damaging effect: no effect on cell growth, sensitivity to DNA-damaging agents, protein abundance, or POLD1 mismatch repair activity, but slightly reduced DNA replication fidelity (PMID: 19966286, 34530183); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 21157497, 10074927, 27320729, 28368425, 7704014, 28687338, 33144657, 35620275, 34530183, 19966286, 26580448, 20951805) -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The POLD1 c.1517G>A (p.Arg506His) variant has not been reported in the published literature in individuals with POLD1-related conditions. Functional studies have reported that this variant may reduce DNA replication fidelity (PMIDs: 19966286 (2010), 34530183 (2021)) and does not increase sensitivity of colorectal cancer cells to inhibitors (PMID 33144657 (2020)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.000011 (3/276556 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is uninformative in the assessment of its pathogenicity. Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded conflicting predictions that this variant is deleterious or benign. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 506 of the POLD1 protein (p.Arg506His). This variant is present in population databases (rs140379348, gnomAD 0.005%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with POLD1-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 239242). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt POLD1 protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects POLD1 function (PMID: 19966286). 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. -

Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.R506H variant (also known as c.1517G>A), located in coding exon 12 of the POLD1 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 1517. The arginine at codon 506 is replaced by histidine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. In one yeast-based assay, this variant showed slightly reduced fidelity of DNA replication, which was compensated for by functional mismatch repair in wild type cells (Daee DL et al. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A., 2010 Jan;107:157-62). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.Arg506His variant in POLD1 has not been previously reported in individuals with colorectal cancer, but has been identified in 1/64598 of European chromoso mes by the Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC, http://exac.broadinstitute.org; d bSNP rs140379348). In vitro functional studies provide some evidence that the p. Arg506His variant may impact protein function (Daee 2010). However, these types of assays may not accurately represent biological function. Computational predic tion tools and conservation analysis do not provide strong support for or agains t an impact to the protein. In summary, the clinical significance of the p.Arg50 6His variant is uncertain. -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:no assertion criteria provided
Collection Method:clinical testing

The POLD1 c.1517G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Arg506His. This variant was previously identified in human colorectal adenocarcinoma cell lines defective in MMR, and showed reduced DNA proofreading activity, but also occurred with other causative variants (da Costa et al. 1995. PubMed ID: 7704014; Table 1, Yoshida et al. 2011. PubMed ID: 21157497; Prindle and Loeb. 2012. PubMed ID: 23065663; Nicolas et al. 2016. PubMed ID: 27320729). This variant is reported in 0.0051% of alleles in individuals of East Asian descent in gnomAD and is reported in ClinVar as a variant of uncertain significance (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/239242/). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
