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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 10 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage

Missense variants that disrupt the 3'-5' exonuclease (proof-reading) activity of the POLD1 protein, while not abolishing its polymerase enzyme activity, are associated with an increased risk for colonic adenomatous polyps and colon cancer (PMID: 23263490, 23447401). Loss-of-function truncating variants, which result in an absent or severely disrupted POLD1 protein, are therefore unlikely to be associated with disease. Without further clinical and genetic evidence, however, this variant has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with POLD1-related disease. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Glu301Lysfs*92) in the POLD1 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. -
