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]

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

Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); Has not been previously published as pathogenic or benign to our knowledge; In silico analysis is inconclusive as to whether the variant alters gene splicing. In the absence of RNA/functional studies, the actual effect of this sequence change is unknown.

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

The POLD1 c.1243-5_1243-3del variant has not been reported in individuals with POLD1-related conditions in the published literature. It also has not been reported in large, multi-ethnic general populations (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). Analysis of this variant using software algorithms for the prediction of the effect of nucleotide changes on splicing yielded predictions that this variant does not affect POLD1 mRNA splicing. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant.

The POLD1 c.1243-5_1243-3delCTC variant was not identified in the literature nor was it identified in the Cosmic or MutDB databases. The variant was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs760329559) as “NA”, and ClinVar (as uncertain significance by Invitae and GeneDx). The variant was identified in control databases in 5 of 244622 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.00002 (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). The variant was observed in the following populations: East Asian in 1 of 17230 chromosomes (freq: 0.00006), European (Non-Finnish) in 4 of 110742 chromosomes (freq: 0.00004), while the variant was not observed in the African, Ashkenazi Jewish, Finnish, Latino, Other, and South Asian populations. The c.1243-5_1243-3delCTC variant is located in the 3' splice region but does not affect the invariant -1 and -2 positions. However, positions -3 and -5 to -12 are part of the splicing consensus sequence and variants involving these positions sometimes affect splicing. In summary, based on the above information the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time. This variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance.

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:1

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

The c.1243-5_1243-3delCTC intronic variant, results from a deletion of 3 nucleotides within intron 9 of the POLD1 gene. This region is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. Using the BDGP and ESEfinder splice site prediction tools, this alteration is not predicted to have any significant effect on this splice acceptor site; however, direct evidence is unavailable. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear.
