Genes affected
POLG (HGNC:9179): (DNA polymerase gamma, catalytic subunit) Mitochondrial DNA polymerase is heterotrimeric, consisting of a homodimer of accessory subunits plus a catalytic subunit. The protein encoded by this gene is the catalytic subunit of mitochondrial DNA polymerase. The encoded protein contains a polyglutamine tract near its N-terminus that may be polymorphic. Defects in this gene are a cause of progressive external ophthalmoplegia with mitochondrial DNA deletions 1 (PEOA1), sensory ataxic neuropathy dysarthria and ophthalmoparesis (SANDO), Alpers-Huttenlocher syndrome (AHS), and mitochondrial neurogastrointestinal encephalopathy syndrome (MNGIE). Two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

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

A variant of uncertain significance has been identified in the POLG gene. The S462L variant has not been published as a pathogenic variant, nor has it been reported as a benign variant to our knowledge. The S462L variant is not observed at a significant frequency in large population cohorts (Lek et al., 2016; 1000 Genomes Consortium et al., 2015; Exome Variant Server). The S462L variant is a non-conservative amino acid substitution, which is likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues differ in polarity, charge, size and/or other properties. This substitution occurs at a position that is conserved in mammals. Missense variants in nearby residues (M464T, A467T) have been reported in the Human Gene Mutation Database in association with POLG-related disorders (Stenson et al., 2014). In silico analysis is inconsistent in its predictions as to whether or not the variant is damaging to the protein structure/function. Based on the currently available information, it is unclear whether this variant is a pathogenic variant or a rare benign variant. -

Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces serine, which is neutral and polar, with leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 462 of the POLG protein (p.Ser462Leu). This variant is present in population databases (rs762878459, gnomAD 0.01%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with POLG-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 206595). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) has been performed at Invitae for this missense variant, however the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on POLG protein function. 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. -
