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]

Variant summary: POLH c.907C>T (p.Arg303X) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 1.2e-05 in 251446 control chromosomes. c.907C>T has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with Xeroderma Pigmentosum (example: Munford_2017). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. The following publication has been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 27664908). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 224063). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. -

Significance:Pathogenic

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg303*) 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 (rs759607901, gnomAD 0.003%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with xeroderma pigmentosum (PMID: 27664908). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 224063). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
