Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely benign. The variant received -1 ACMG points: 2P and 3B. PM2BP4_ModerateBP6

The ENST00000706918.1(POLGARF):​c.385C>T​(p.Arg129Trp) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000267 in 1,607,994 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 6/9 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R129P) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

Genes affected
POLGARF (HGNC:56246): (POLG alternative reading frame) This gene uses the same transcript as the POLG gene but has a CUG start codon and an alternate reading frame that makes a 260 aa protein. This protein is distinct from POLG isoforms and may interact with P32 (also known as C1QBP), a mitochondrial matrix protein thought to be involved in the expression of mitochondrial genome-encoded proteins. POLGARF protein may bind P32 and sequester it in the nucleolus. Interestingly, some disease-causing mutations thought to be in POLG may instead be associated with POLGARF. [provided by RefSeq, May 2022]
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]
