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]

While this variant is not present in population databases, the frequency information is unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the ExAC database. This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 21 of the POLD1 gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing and likely results in an absent or disrupted protein product. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with POLD1-related disease. 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 -
