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]

The NM_002693.2:c.3405C>T (NP_002684.1:p.Asp1135=) [GRCH38: NC_000015.10:g.89318618G>A] variant in POLG gene is interpretated to be a Benign based on ACMG guidelines (PMID: 25741868). This variant meets the following evidence codes reported in the ACMG-guideline. BS1:The minor allele frequency of this allele is high for Mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome 4A (Alpers type). BS2:Observation of the variant in controls is inconsistent with penetrance of Mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome 4A (Alpers type). BP7:The variant is silent with non predicted splice impact. Based on the evidence criteria codes applied, the variant is suggested to be Benign. -
