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]

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Oct 26, 2022	This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with lysine, which is basic and polar, at codon 334 of the POLG protein (p.Arg334Lys). This variant is present in population databases (rs776437525, gnomAD 0.03%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with POLG-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 405571). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt POLG protein function. 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. -
Uncertain significance, 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.1001G>A (NP_002684.1:p.Arg334Lys) [GRCH38: NC_000015.10:g.89328965C>T] variant in POLG gene is interpretated to be a Uncertain Significance 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. PM2:This variant is absent in key population databases. Based on the evidence criteria codes applied, the variant is suggested to be Uncertain Significance. -

clinical testing

PreventionGenetics, part of Exact Sciences

May 08, 2024

The POLG c.1001G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Arg334Lys. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature. This variant is reported in 0.032% of alleles in individuals of African descent in gnomAD. At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
