Progressive sclerosing poliodystrophy Uncertain:2
This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 722 of the POLG protein (p.Arg722Leu). This variant is present in population databases (rs185645212, gnomAD 0.006%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with POLG-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 206513). 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 POLG protein function with a negative predictive value of 95%. 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. -
The NM_002693.2:c.2165G>T (NP_002684.1:p.Arg722Leu) [GRCH38: NC_000015.10:g.89323504C>A] variant in POLG gene is interpretated to be a Uncertain Significance based on ACMG guidelines (PMID: 25741868). This variant meets the following evidence codes reported in the ACMG-guideline. BP4:Computational evidence/predictors indicate no impact on the POLG structure, function, or protein-protein interaction. PS1:This variation causes same amino-acid change as an established pathogenic variant. Based on the evidence criteria codes applied, the variant is suggested to be Uncertain Significance. -
Inborn genetic diseases Uncertain:1
The p.R722L variant (also known as c.2165G>T), located in coding exon 12 of the POLG gene, results from a G to T substitution at nucleotide position 2165. The arginine at codon 722 is replaced by leucine, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This amino acid position is poorly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
not provided Uncertain:1
Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant does not alter protein structure/function; Has not been previously published as pathogenic or benign to our knowledge; 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. -
