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]

POLD1 (HGNC:):

ACMG classification

Verdict is Uncertain_significance. Variant got 4 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• BS2: High AC in GnomAdExome4 at 6 AD gene.

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Glu159Serfs*10) in the POLD1 gene. Missense variants that disrupt the 3'-5' exonuclease (proof-reading) activity of the POLD1 protein are associated with PPAP (polymerase proofreading–associated polyposis) (PMID: 23263490, 23447401). However, loss-of-function variants that result in an absent or severely disrupted POLD1 protein, and missense variants outside the exonuclease domain, are unlikely to be associated with PPAP. This variant is present in population databases (rs764964017, gnomAD 0.004%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with POLD1-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 537095). 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. -

The c.471delG variant, located in coding exon 4 of the POLD1 gene, results from a deletion of one nucleotide at nucleotide position 471, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.E159Sfs*10). This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. However, loss of function via haploinsufficiency in POLD1 has not been clearly established as a mechanism of disease. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
