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]

This variant meets the following evidence codes reported in the ACMG-guideline. BS1:The minor allele frequency of this allele is high for Mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome 4A (Alpers type). BS2:Observation of the variant in controls is inconsistent with penetrance of Mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome 4A (Alpers type). BP4:Computational evidence/predictors indicate no impact on the POLG structure, function, or protein-protein interaction. Based on the evidence criteria codes applied, the variant is suggested to be Benign. -
