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]

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 311 of the POLD1 protein (p.Arg311His). This variant is present in population databases (rs777944185, gnomAD 0.005%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with colorectal cancer (PMID: 32567205). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 407951). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt POLD1 protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. 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. -

Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.R311H variant (also known as c.932G>A), located in coding exon 7 of the POLD1 gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 932. The arginine at codon 311 is replaced by histidine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This alteration was identified in two patients with colorectal cancer (Xu Y et al. Front Oncol, 2020 Sep;10:1603). (Siraj AK et al. Mol Genet Genomic Med, 2020 08;8:e1368). This alteration was reported as a somatic alteration in an ultra-mutated pancreatic adenocarcinoma in co-occurrence with POLE p.P286R. The authors note that POLD1 p.R311H is located in the functional exonuclease domain, but also observe that POLE p.P286R alone is sufficient to produce the observed ultra-mutated phenotype (Shinbrot E et al. Genome Res. 2014 Nov;24:1740-50). This amino acid position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
