Genes affected

POLK (HGNC:9183): (DNA polymerase kappa) This gene encodes a member of the DNA polymerase type-Y family of proteins. The encoded protein is a specialized DNA polymerase that catalyzes translesion DNA synthesis, which allows DNA replication in the presence of DNA lesions. Human cell lines lacking a functional copy of this gene exhibit impaired genome integrity and enhanced susceptibility to oxidative damage. Mutations in this gene that impair enzyme activity may be associated with prostate cancer in human patients. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2016]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Benign. Variant got -12 ACMG points.

• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.69).
• BS1: Variant frequency is greater than expected in population eas. gnomad4 allele frequency = 0.0107 (1635/152308) while in subpopulation EAS AF= 0.0214 (111/5184). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.0182. There are 18 homozygotes in gnomad4. There are 872 alleles in male gnomad4 subpopulation. This position pass quality control queck.
• BS2: High Homozygotes in GnomAd at 18 AR gene
