Genes affected
POLD1 (HGNC:9175): (DNA polymerase delta 1, catalytic subunit) This gene encodes the 125-kDa catalytic subunit of DNA polymerase delta. DNA polymerase delta possesses both polymerase and 3' to 5' exonuclease activity and plays a critical role in DNA replication and repair. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been observed for this gene, and a pseudogene of this gene is located on the long arm of chromosome 6. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2012]

Colorectal cancer, susceptibility to, 10 Uncertain:2
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJan 16, 2024This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 978 of the POLD1 protein (p.Arg978His). The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the gnomAD database. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with POLD1-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 239319). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be tolerated. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingSt. Jude Molecular Pathology, St. Jude Children's Research HospitalAug 05, 2021The POLD1 c.2933G>A (p.Arg978His) missense change has a maximum subpopulation frequency of 0.0043% in gnomAD v2.1.1, however this data may be unreliable due to poor data quality at this location (https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/19-50919765-G-A). In silico tools are not in agreement about the effect of this variant on protein function, but to our knowledge these predictions have not been confirmed by functional assays. This variant has been reported in a tumor with low tumor mutational burden (PMID: 29056344). To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with POLD1-related disease. In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as of uncertain significance based on the ACMG/AMP criteria: no criteria met. -

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxMar 05, 2020In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; Has not been previously published as pathogenic or benign to our knowledge -
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsNov 09, 2023The p.R978H variant (also known as c.2933G>A), located in coding exon 22 of the POLD1 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 2933. The arginine at codon 978 is replaced by histidine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This amino acid position is conserved. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
