not provided Uncertain:1
This variant is denoted POLD1 c.2565-3C>G or IVS20-3C>G and consists of a C>G nucleotide substitution at the -3 position of intron 20 of the POLD1 gene. Multiple in silico models predict this variant to destroy the nearby natural acceptor site and to possibly cause abnormal gene splicing; however, in the absence of RNA or functional studies, the actual effect of this variant is unknown. This variant has not, to our knowledge, been published in the literature as pathogenic or benign. POLD1 c.2565-3C>G was not observed in approximately 6,500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, suggesting it is not a common benign variant in these populations. The cytosine (C) nucleotide that is altered is conserved through mammals. Based on currently available information, it is unclear whether POLD1 c.2565-3C>G is pathogenic or benign. We consider it to be a variant of uncertain significance. -
Colorectal cancer, susceptibility to, 10 Uncertain:1
This sequence change falls in intron 20 of the POLD1 gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the POLD1 protein. RNA analysis indicates that this variant induces altered splicing and may result in an absent or disrupted protein product. However, the current clinical and genetic evidence is not sufficient to establish whether loss-of-function variants in POLD1 cause disease. This variant is present in population databases (rs772419397, gnomAD 0.0008%). 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: 421519). Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Studies have shown that this variant results in activation of a cryptic splice site and introduces a premature termination codon (Invitae). The resulting mRNA is expected to undergo nonsense-mediated decay. 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. 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. -
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:1
The c.2565-3C>G intronic variant results from a C to G substitution 3 nucleotides upstream from coding exon 20 in the POLD1 gene. This nucleotide position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. Using the BDGP and ESEfinder splice site prediction tools, this alteration is predicted to weaken the efficiency of the native splice acceptor site; however, direct evidence is unavailable. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
