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]

The POLD1 c.1562G>A; p.Arg521Gln variant (rs143076166; ClinVar ID: 239244) is reported in the literature in several individuals affected with colorectal cancer, although it was not demonstrated to be disease-causing (Bellido 2016, Mur 2020). This variant is found in the non-Finnish European population with an allele frequency of 0.02% (29/128,564 alleles) in the Genome Aggregation Database (v2.1.1). Computational analyses are uncertain whether this variant is neutral or deleterious (REVEL: 0.278). Due to limited information, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain at this time.

Observed in individuals with colorectal cancer (PMID: 26133394, 32792570); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; In silico analysis suggests this variant may impact gene splicing. In the absence of RNA/functional studies, the actual effect of this sequence change is unknown.; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 32792570, 26133394, 32041611, 33809179, Andrianova2023[preprint], 20951805, 37848928) -

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

This alteration is classified as likely 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. -

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 521 of the POLD1 protein (p.Arg521Gln). This variant is present in population databases (rs143076166, gnomAD 0.02%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with colorectal cancer (PMID: 26133394). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 239244). 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%. RNA analysis performed to evaluate the impact of this missense change on mRNA splicing indicates it does not significantly alter splicing (internal data). 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. -

Found in patient having exome sequencing due to suspicion for hereditary colon cancer and/or polyps. Patient is a 37 year old female diagnosed with colon cancer at age 36. Patient also has a likely pathogenic variant in MSH2. This interpretation considers GERP score and allele frequency data, in addition to published reports of the variant in the literature, available at the time of review. -
