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]

p.Arg1096Leu (CGT>CTT): c.3287 G>T in exon 21 of the POLG gene (NM_002693.2). The R1096L mutation has not been published as a mutation, nor has it been reported as a benign polymorphism to our knowledge. It was not observed in approximately 6,400 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project. The R1096L mutation is a non-conservative amino acid substitution, which is likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues differ in polarity, charge, size and/or other properties. Another mutation at this position (R1096H) has also been reported as pathogenic in a patient with a clinical diagnosis of Alpers syndrome who had a second POLG mutation on the other allele (Horvath et al., 2006). Therefore, we interpret R1096L to be a pathogenic mutation. The variant is found in EPILEPSY panel(s). -

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 1096 of the POLG protein (p.Arg1096Leu). This variant is present in population databases (rs368435864, gnomAD 0.003%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of autosomal recessive POLG-related conditions (PMID: 32600829). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 206559). 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 expected to disrupt POLG protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. This variant disrupts the p.Arg1096 amino acid residue in POLG. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 21305355, 21880868, 22189570, 24265579, 28471437, 30167885). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic. -
