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]

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Benign. The variant received -9 ACMG points.

BP4
Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.89).
BP6
Variant 15-89323804-G-A is Benign according to our data. Variant chr15-89323804-G-A is described in ClinVar as Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity. ClinVar VariationId is 138746.
BS1
Variant frequency is greater than expected in population eas. GnomAdExome4 allele frequency = 0.000235 (343/1457116) while in subpopulation EAS AF = 0.00751 (298/39676). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.00681. There are 1 homozygotes in GnomAdExome4. There are 165 alleles in the male GnomAdExome4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 31. This position passed quality control check.
