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:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

c.835_837del, located in exon 7 of the POLD1 gene, consists in the deletion of 3 nucleotides, predicted to cause an in-frame deletion of 1 amino acid (p.(Glu279del)). This variant is found in 3/243349 alleles at a frequency of 0.001% in the gnomAD v2.1.1 database, non-cancer dataset. To our knowledge, neither relevant clinical data nor well-established functional studies have been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in the ClinVar database (8x uncertain significance) and has not been reported in LOVD. Based on currently available information, the variant c.835_837del should be considered an uncertain significance variant according to ACMG/AMP classification guidelines.

The c.835_837delGAG variant (also known as p.E279del) is located in coding exon 6 of the POLD1 gene. This variant results from an in-frame GAG deletion at nucleotide positions 835 to 837. This results in the in-frame deletion of a glutamic acid at codon 279. This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be neutral by in silico analysis (Choi Y et al. PLoS ONE. 2012; 7(10):e46688). Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear.

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

This variant, c.835_837del, results in the deletion of 1 amino acid(s) of the POLD1 protein (p.Glu279del), but otherwise preserves the integrity of the reading frame. This variant is present in population databases (rs746341854, gnomAD 0.003%). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with breast and thyroid cancer (PMID: 34130653). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 484336). Experimental studies and prediction algorithms are not available or were not evaluated, and the functional significance of this variant is currently unknown. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance.

Variant summary: POLD1 c.835_837delGAG (p.Glu279del) results in an in-frame deletion that is predicted to remove one amino acid from the encoded protein. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.3e-05 in 222876 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.835_837delGAG has been reported in the literature in at least one individual affected with Thyroid and Breast Cancer without evidence of causality (Bakos_2021). This report does not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Colorectal Cancer. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Seven clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance.

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:no assertion criteria provided
Collection Method:clinical testing

The POLD1 c.835_837delGAG variant is predicted to result in an in-frame deletion (p.Glu279del). This variant has been reported in one individual with a history of breast and thyroid cancer (Bakos et al. 2021. PubMed ID: 34130653). This variant is reported in 0.0020% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD and is interpreted as a variant of uncertain significance in ClinVar (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/484336/). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence.
