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

Verdict is Benign. Variant got -10 ACMG points.

• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.4).
• BP6: Variant 15-89324236-A-G is Benign according to our data. Variant chr15-89324236-A-G is described in ClinVar as [Likely_benign]. Clinvar id is 206461.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

The NM_002693.2:c.1950-9T>C (NP_002684.1:p.=) [GRCH38: NC_000015.10:g.89324236A>G] variant in POLG gene is interpretated to be a Likely Benign 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. BP6:Reputable source(s) without shared data suggest the variant is benign. Based on the evidence criteria codes applied, the variant is suggested to be Likely Benign. -
