Genes affected
POLR3A (HGNC:30074): (RNA polymerase III subunit A) The protein encoded by this gene is the catalytic component of RNA polymerase III, which synthesizes small RNAs. The encoded protein also acts as a sensor to detect foreign DNA and trigger an innate immune response. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2011]

Leukoencephalopathy-ataxia-hypodontia-hypomyelination syndrome Pathogenic:2Other:1
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submittercurationBroad Center for Mendelian Genomics, Broad Institute of MIT and HarvardJan 24, 2024The p.Gly672Glu variant in POLR3A has been reported in 7 individuals with POLR3A-related disorders (PMID: 21855841, 33005949, 25339210), and has been identified in 0.006% (1/16256) of African/African American chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP ID: rs267608670). Although this variant has been seen in the general population in a heterozygous state, its frequency is low enough to be consistent with a recessive carrier frequency. Of the 7 affected individuals, 2 of those were homozygotes, which increases the likelihood that the p.Gly672Glu variant is pathogenic (PMID: 21855841, 33005949). This variant has also been reported in ClinVar (Variation ID#: 31143) and has been interpreted as pathogenic by GeneReviews and OMIM. Computational prediction tools and conservation analyses suggest that this variant may impact the protein, though this information is not predictive enough to determine pathogenicity. In summary, the clinical significance of the p.Gly672Glu variant is uncertain. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PM3, PM2_supporting, PP3 (Richards 2015). -

POLR3A-related disorder Pathogenic:1
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingPreventionGenetics, part of Exact SciencesJan 01, 2024The POLR3A c.2015G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Gly672Glu. This variant was reported both in the homozygous and compound heterozygous states in patients with hypomyelinating leukodystrophy (Bernard et al. 2011. PubMed ID: 21855841; Supplementary table e-1, Wolf et al. 2014. PubMed ID: 25339210). A recent study reviewed that this variant in the homozygous state did present typical neurological features of hypomyelinating leukodystrophy (4H leukodystrophy), although transgenic mouse models of this variant (in the homozygous state or in the compound heterozygous state with one null allele) did not demonstrate the phenotype of childhood-onset hypomyelinating leukodystrophy (Pelletier et al. 2021. PubMed ID: 33005949; Choquet et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 28407788). This variant is reported in 0.0062% of alleles in individuals of African descent in gnomAD. Based on the given information, this variant is classified as likely pathogenic. -
Pol III-related leukodystrophy Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpMar 14, 2024Variant summary: POLR3A c.2015G>A (p.Gly672Glu) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the RNA polymerase Rpb1, domain 3 (IPR007066) of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 2e-05 in 251470 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.2015G>A has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Tremor-ataxia with central hypomyelinating leukodystrophy (e.g. Bernard_2011). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. The following publication has been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 21855841). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 31143). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -
