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]

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingARUP Laboratories, Molecular Genetics and Genomics, ARUP LaboratoriesApr 14, 2022The POLD1 c.203G>A; p.Gly68Glu variant (rs144707871), to our knowledge, is not reported in the medical literature but is reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 239267). This variant is found in the general population with an overall allele frequency of 0.003% (8/250932 alleles) in the Genome Aggregation Database. The glycine at codon 68 is moderately conserved, but computational analyses predict that this variant is neutral (REVEL: 0.107). This variant is not located in the exonuclease domain (Palles 2013), and gene-disease association has not been established for variants outside of the exonuclease domain (Seifert 2019). However, due to limited information, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain at this time. References: Palles C et al. Germline mutations affecting the proofreading domains of POLE and POLD1 predispose to colorectal adenomas and carcinomas. Nat Genet. 2013 Feb;45(2):136-44. PMID: 23263490 Seifert BA et al.

not specified Uncertain:2
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLaboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized MedicineDec 08, 2016The p.Gly68Glu variant in POLD1 has not been previously reported in individuals with colorectal cancer. This variant has been identified in 3/66138 European chr omosomes by the Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC, http://exac.broadinstitute.o rg; dbSNP rs144707871). Computational prediction tools and conservation analysis do not provide strong support for or against an impact to the protein. This var iant is located in the first base of the exon (which is part of the 3? splice re gion) but computational tools do not suggest a significant impact on splicing. H owever, this information is not predictive enough to determine pathogenicity. In summary, the clinical significance of the p.Gly68Glu variant is uncertain. -

Colorectal cancer, susceptibility to, 10 Uncertain:2
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJan 21, 2024This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with glutamic acid, which is acidic and polar, at codon 68 of the POLD1 protein (p.Gly68Glu). This variant is present in population databases (rs144707871, gnomAD 0.007%). 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: 239267). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be disruptive. Studies have shown that this missense change is associated with inconclusive levels of altered splicing (Invitae). 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. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingSt. Jude Molecular Pathology, St. Jude Children's Research HospitalAug 10, 2021The POLD1 c.203G>A (p.Gly68Glu) missense change has a maximum subpopulation frequency of 0.0071% in gnomAD v2.1.1 (https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/19-50902628-G-A). Four of six in silico tools predict a benign effect of this variant on protein function (BP4), but to our knowledge these predictions have not been confirmed by functional assays. In addition, algorithms that predict the impact of sequence changes on splicing indicate that this change is unlikely to significantly impact splicing. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with POLD1-related disease. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as of uncertain significance based on the ACMG/AMP criteria: BP4. -
POLD1-related disorder Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingPreventionGenetics, part of Exact SciencesJul 20, 2023The POLD1 c.203G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Gly68Glu. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature. This variant is reported in 0.0071% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/19-50902628-G-A). It is interpreted as uncertain significance in ClinVar (https://preview.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/239267/). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
