Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received -1 ACMG points: 0P and 1B. BP7

This summary comes from the ClinGen Evidence Repository: The c.3451C>T (p.L1151L) variant in POLG is present in population databases ExAC at 0.11% frequency and not observed in homozygotes (no criteria is met). There is limited computational predictions and the tool Revel unavailable given limited data. This variant is a coding synonymous change (BP7). In summary, there is not sufficient evidence to characterize this variant as pathogenic or benign, therefore it is characterized as a variant of uncertain significance for primary mitochondrial disease inherited in a autosomal recessive manner.ntDNA Mitochondrial ACMG-AMP Criteria for POLG applied: BP7 LINK:https://erepo.genome.network/evrepo/ui/classification/CA7724139/MONDO:0044970/014

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]

The NM_002693.2:c.3451C>T (NP_002684.1:p.Leu1151=) [GRCH38: NC_000015.10:g.89318572G>A] variant in POLG gene is interpretated to be a Likely Benign based on ACMG guidelines (PMID: 25741868). This variant meets the following evidence codes reported in the ACMG-guideline. BS1:The minor allele frequency of this allele is high for Mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome 4A (Alpers type). BP4:Computational evidence/predictors indicate no impact on the POLG structure, function, or protein-protein interaction. BP7:The variant is silent with non predicted splice impact. Based on the evidence criteria codes applied, the variant is suggested to be Likely Benign. -
