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]

Variant summary: POLD1 c.2327G>A (p.Arg776Gln) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the DNA-directed DNA polymerase, family B, multifunctional domain (IPR006134) of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 9.6e-05 in 248868 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The observed variant frequency is approximately 7 - fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in POLD1 causing Colorectal Cancer phenotype (1.4e-05). c.2327G>A has been reported in the literature without strong evidence for or against pathogenicity (Chan_2018, Singh_2023). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Colorectal Cancer. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 30093976, 32792570, 37463056). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 239285). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as VUS-possibly benign. -

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

The POLD1 p.Arg776Gln variant was not identified in the literature nor was it identified in Cosmic or LOVD 3.0. The variant was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs141801845) and ClinVar (classified as uncertain significance by Invitae for colorectal cancer). The variant was identified in control databases in 21 of 234444 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.00008957 (Genome Aggregation Database March 6, 2019, v2.1.1, non-cancer). The variant was observed in the following populations: South Asian in 17 of 30368 chromosomes (freq: 0.00056), Other in 2 of 5554 chromosomes (freq: 0.00036), Latino in 1 of 33916 chromosomes (freq: 0.000029) and European (non-Finnish) in 1 of 101812 chromosomes (freq: 0.00001), but was not observed in the African, Ashkenazi Jewish, East Asian, or European (Finnish) populations. The p.Arg776 residue is conserved in mammals but not in more distantly related organisms however computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) do not suggest a high likelihood of impact to the protein; this information is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and three of four in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer) do not predict a greater than 10% difference in splicing; this is not very predictive of pathogenicity. In summary, based on the above information the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time. This variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance. -

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 776 of the POLD1 protein (p.Arg776Gln). This variant is present in population databases (rs141801845, gnomAD 0.06%), and has an allele count higher than expected for a pathogenic variant. 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: 239285). 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%. 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. -

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

This alteration is classified as benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -
