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]

Significance:Pathogenic
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces serine, which is neutral and polar, with asparagine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 478 of the POLD1 protein (p.Ser478Asn). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with colorectal cancer, endometrial cancer and astrocytoma (PMID: 23263490, 25559809, 26344056). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 40044). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt POLD1 protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects POLD1 function (PMID: 23263490). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The POLD1 p.Ser478Asn variant was identified in 2 of 1302 proband chromosomes (frequency: 0.002) from individuals or families with colorectal cancer (Arora 2015, Chubb 2015). The variant was also identified in dbSNP (ID: rs397514632) as “With other allele”, ClinVar (classified as pathogenic by Invitae, likely pathogenic by Counsyl, and as a risk factor by OMIM). The variant was not identified in the following control databases: the 1000 Genomes Project, the NHLBI GO Exome Sequencing Project, the Exome Aggregation Consortium (August 8th 2016), or the Genome Aggregation Database (Feb 27, 2017). The p.Ser478 residue is conserved in mammals and computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) provide inconsistent predictions regarding the impact to the protein; this information is not very predictive of pathogenicity. However, this variant is located in the exonuclease domain of the enzyme and is suggested to affect the secondary structure of this active site (Briggs 2013, Palles 2013). The variant has also been reported to segregate with disease in several affected individuals in at least two unrelated families (Briggs 2013, Palles 2013). A functional study in yeast demonstrated that this variant resulted in a 12-fold increase in mutation rate as compared to wild type (Palles 2013). The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer) do not predict a difference in splicing. In summary, based on the above information, this variant meets our laboratory’s criteria to be classified as pathogenic. -

The p.S478N variant (also known as c.1433G>A), located in coding exon 11 of the POLD1 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 1433. The serine at codon 478 is replaced by asparagine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This variant was reported in multiple individuals with features consistent with POLD1-related polymerase proofreading-associated polyposis. In addition, this variant was reported to segregate with disease in multiple families (Palles C et al. Nat Genet, 2013 Feb;45:136-44; Chubb D et al. J Clin Oncol, 2015 Feb;33:426-32; Arora S et al. Gastroenterology, 2015 Dec;149:1872-1883.e9; Jansen AML et al. Fam Cancer, 2020 Jan;19:1-10; Ito T et al. Jpn J Clin Oncol, 2020 Sep;50:1080-1083). In multiple assays testing POLD1 function, this variant showed functionally abnormal results (Palles C et al. Nat Genet, 2013 Feb;45:136-44; Oh DY et al. Hum Mutat, 2020 May;41:913-920). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. This variant is considered to be rare based on population cohorts in the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic. -
