Genes affected
POLR3A (HGNC:30074): (RNA polymerase III subunit A) The protein encoded by this gene is the catalytic component of RNA polymerase III, which synthesizes small RNAs. The encoded protein also acts as a sensor to detect foreign DNA and trigger an innate immune response. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2011]

The p.Asp1292Asn variant in POLR3A has been reported in 1 individual with POLR3A-related disorders but has been identified in 0.005% (1/21636) of European (Finnish) chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP ID: rs757209071). Although this variant has been seen in the general population in a heterozygous state, its frequency is low enough to be consistent with a recessive carrier frequency. This variant has also been reported in ClinVar (Variation ID#: 549571) and has been interpreted as likely pathogenic by Tartaglia Lab (Genetics and Rare Diseases Research Division, Bambino Gesu' Children's Hospital). The p.Asp1292Asn variant is located in a region of POLR3A that is essential to protein folding and stability, suggesting that this variant is in a hot spot/functional domain and slightly supports pathogenicity (PMID: 30323018). In summary, while there is some suspicion for a pathogenic role, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain. ACMG/AMP Criteria applied: PP3, PM1_supporting, PM2_supporting (Richards 2015). -
