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]

Progressive sclerosing poliodystrophy Uncertain:2
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJan 04, 2024This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 1014 of the POLG protein (p.Arg1014Gly). This variant is present in population databases (rs764195223, 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: 430472). 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) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt POLG protein function with a negative predictive value of 95%. 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. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWong Mito Lab, Molecular and Human Genetics, Baylor College of MedicineOct 01, 2018The NM_002693.2:c.3040A>G (NP_002684.1:p.Arg1014Gly) [GRCH38: NC_000015.10:g.89319292T>C] variant in POLG gene is interpretated to be a Uncertain Significance based on ACMG guidelines (PMID: 25741868). This variant meets the following evidence codes reported in the ACMG-guideline. PM2:This variant is absent in key population databases. PP3:Computational evidence/predictors indicate the variant has deleterious effect on POLG structure, function, or protein-protein interaction. Based on the evidence criteria codes applied, the variant is suggested to be Uncertain Significance. -
not provided Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxMay 22, 2017The R1014G variant has not been published as a pathogenic variant, nor has it been reported as a benign variant to our knowledge. The R1014G 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 R1014G 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 not conserved. In silico analysis is inconsistent in its predictions as to whether or not the variant is damaging to the protein structure/function. In summary, based on the currently available information, it is unclear whether this variant is a pathogenic variant or a rare benign variant. -
