Genes affected

POLR3B (HGNC:30348): (RNA polymerase III subunit B) This gene encodes the second largest subunit of RNA polymerase III, the polymerase responsible for synthesizing transfer and small ribosomal RNAs in eukaryotes. The largest subunit and the encoded protein form the catalytic center of RNA polymerase III. Mutations in this gene are a cause of hypomyelinating leukodystrophy. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2011]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 12 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 12-106432384-AT-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr12-106432384-AT-A is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 31165.Status of the report is criteria_provided_single_submitter, 1 stars. Variant chr12-106432384-AT-A is described in Lovd as [Likely_pathogenic].

Pathogenic, no assertion criteria provided	literature only	OMIM	Nov 11, 2011	- -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	curation	Broad Center for Mendelian Genomics, Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard	Feb 24, 2022	The p.Ile511fs variant in POLR3B has been reported in 1 individual in the compound heterozygous state with 4H leukodystrophy (PMID: 22036172) and has been identified in 0.002% (2/113510) of European (non-Finnish) chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP ID: rs1006308316). 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. This variant has also been reported in ClinVar (Variation ID#: 31165) and has been interpreted as pathogenic by OMIM and GeneReviews. This variant is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein’s amino acid sequence beginning at position 511 and leads to a premature termination codon 4 amino acids downstream. This alteration is then predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Loss of function of the POLR3B gene is an established disease mechanism in autosomal recessive 4H leukodystrophy. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as pathogenic for autosomal recessive 4H leukodystrophy. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PVS1, PM2_supporting, PM3 (Richards 2015). -
