Variant summary

Our verdict is Pathogenic. The variant received 16 ACMG points: 16P and 0B. PM1PM5PP3_StrongPP5_Very_Strong

The NM_002693.3(POLG):​c.2584G>A​(p.Ala862Thr) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000753 in 1,460,416 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Likely pathogenic (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. A862V) has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

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]

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Pathogenic. The variant received 16 ACMG points.

PM1
In a hotspot region, there are 7 aminoacids with missense pathogenic changes in the window of +-8 aminoacids around while only 0 benign, 13 uncertain in NM_002693.3
PM5
Other missense variant is known to change same aminoacid residue: Variant chr15-89321749-G-A is described in ClinVar as Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 1058069.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
PP3
MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.99
PP5
Variant 15-89321750-C-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr15-89321750-C-T is described in ClinVar as Pathogenic/Likely_pathogenic. ClinVar VariationId is 431952.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
