Genes affected
POLH (HGNC:9181): (DNA polymerase eta) This gene encodes a member of the Y family of specialized DNA polymerases. It copies undamaged DNA with a lower fidelity than other DNA-directed polymerases. However, it accurately replicates UV-damaged DNA; when thymine dimers are present, this polymerase inserts the complementary nucleotides in the newly synthesized DNA, thereby bypassing the lesion and suppressing the mutagenic effect of UV-induced DNA damage. This polymerase is thought to be involved in hypermutation during immunoglobulin class switch recombination. Mutations in this gene result in XPV, a variant type of xeroderma pigmentosum. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, May 2014]

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 12 ACMG points.

PVS1
Splicing +-2 bp (donor or acceptor) variant, product NOT destroyed by NMD, known LOF gene, truncates exone, which is 0.048552755 fraction of the gene. Cryptic splice site detected, with MaxEntScore 4.7, offset of -42, new splice context is: tggGTcagt. Cryptic site results in inframe change. If cryptic site found is not functional and variant results in exon loss, it results in frameshift change.
PM2
Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage;
PP5
Variant 6-43601092-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr6-43601092-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 224062.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

This sequence change affects a donor splice site in intron 6 of the POLH gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in POLH are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 11773631, 24130121, 25256075). Studies have shown that disruption of this splice site is associated with altered splicing resulting in multiple RNA products (PMID: 27004399). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 224062). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individual(s) with xeroderma pigmentosum (PMID: 27004399). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. This variant is present in population databases (rs772570523, gnomAD 0.008%). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
