Genes affected
POLH (HGNC:9181): (DNA polymerase eta) This gene encodes a member of the Y family of specialized DNA polymerases. It copies undamaged DNA with a lower fidelity than other DNA-directed polymerases. However, it accurately replicates UV-damaged DNA; when thymine dimers are present, this polymerase inserts the complementary nucleotides in the newly synthesized DNA, thereby bypassing the lesion and suppressing the mutagenic effect of UV-induced DNA damage. This polymerase is thought to be involved in hypermutation during immunoglobulin class switch recombination. Mutations in this gene result in XPV, a variant type of xeroderma pigmentosum. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, May 2014]

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Ser242*) in the POLH gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in POLH are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 11773631, 24130121, 25256075). This variant is present in population databases (rs745778317, gnomAD 0.01%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with POLH-related conditions (PMID: 17344931). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 264680). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
