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]

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

DNA sequence analysis of the POLD1 gene demonstrated a sequence change, c.202G>A, in exon 2 that results in an amino acid change, p.Gly68Arg. This sequence change has been described in gnomAD with a low population frequency of 0.0019% (dbSNP rs772866918). The p.Gly68Arg change affects a moderately conserved amino acid residue located in a domain of the POLD1 protein that is not known to be functional. In-silico pathogenicity prediction tools (SIFT, PolyPhen2, Align GVGD, REVEL) provide contradictory results for the p.Gly68Arg substitution. This sequence change does not appear to have been previously described in patients with POLD1-related disorders. Due to the lack of sufficient evidences, the clinical significance of the p.Gly68Arg change remains unknown at this time. -

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 68 of the POLD1 protein (p.Gly68Arg). This variant also falls at the last nucleotide of exon 2, which is part of the consensus splice site for this exon. This variant is present in population databases (rs772866918, gnomAD 0.01%). 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: 537106). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function outputs the following: PolyPhen-2: "Benign". The arginine amino acid residue is found in multiple mammalian species, which suggests that this missense change does not adversely affect protein function. Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). RNA analysis performed to evaluate the impact of this missense change on mRNA splicing indicates it does not significantly alter splicing (internal data). 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. -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.G68R variant (also known as c.202G>A), located in coding exon 1 of the POLD1 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 202. The amino acid change results in glycine to arginine at codon 68, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. However, this change occurs in the last base pair of coding exon 1, which makes it likely to have some effect on normal mRNA splicing. This nucleotide position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In silico splice site analysis predicts that this alteration will weaken the native splice donor site. In addition, as a missense substitution this is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -
