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]

POLGARF (HGNC:):

Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Wong Mito Lab, Molecular and Human Genetics, Baylor College of Medicine	Oct 01, 2018	The NM_002693.2:c.1638C>T (NP_002684.1:p.Arg546=) [GRCH38: NC_000015.10:g.89326686G>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. 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. -
