Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. The variant received 7 ACMG points: 7P and 0B. PM2PM3_StrongPP3

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The c.3286 C>T (p.Arg1096Cys) variant in POLG is seen at an allele frequency of 0.00001 in gnomAd and 0.00002 in ExAC with no homozygotes (PM2). This variant has a Revel score of 0.837 (PP3). There are 7 cases in the literature reported with an Alpers phenotype in individuals who are homozygous for the c.3286 C>T (p.Arg1096Cys) (PM3_strong; PMID:21305355; PMID:21880868; PMID:18546365). There are also 6 cases reported with other pathogenic variants with phasing unknown 2 siblings reported compound heterozygous with Thr914Pro, another reported with Trp748Ser, another cases with Leu591Phe, another case with Ala467Thr, and another case with Gly848Ser. Each case was reported with POLG related disease with Alpers, liver related disease, and other neurological phenotypes (PM3_strong; PMID:18487244; PMID:30021052; PMID:24265579; PMID:27111573; PMID:21880868). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as likely pathogenic for mitochondrial disease inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. ntDNA ACMG/AMP criteria for POLG applied: PM2, PP3, PM3_strong LINK:https://erepo.genome.network/evrepo/ui/classification/CA316756/MONDO:0044970/014

Genes affected
POLG (HGNC:9179): (DNA polymerase gamma, catalytic subunit) Mitochondrial DNA polymerase is heterotrimeric, consisting of a homodimer of accessory subunits plus a catalytic subunit. The protein encoded by this gene is the catalytic subunit of mitochondrial DNA polymerase. The encoded protein contains a polyglutamine tract near its N-terminus that may be polymorphic. Defects in this gene are a cause of progressive external ophthalmoplegia with mitochondrial DNA deletions 1 (PEOA1), sensory ataxic neuropathy dysarthria and ophthalmoparesis (SANDO), Alpers-Huttenlocher syndrome (AHS), and mitochondrial neurogastrointestinal encephalopathy syndrome (MNGIE). Two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
