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]

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Baylor Genetics	Jan 09, 2024	- -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	May 22, 2023	This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with autosomal recessive progressive external ophthalmoplegia (PMID: 21880868). 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. Experimental studies and prediction algorithms are not available or were not evaluated, and the functional significance of this variant is currently unknown. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 488798). This variant is present in population databases (rs781256643, gnomAD 0.002%). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln1214*) in the POLG gene. While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 26 amino acid(s) of the POLG protein. -
Pathogenic, 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.3640C>T (NP_002684.1:p.Gln1214Ter) [GRCH38: NC_000015.10:g.89317379G>A] variant in POLG gene is interpretated to be a Pathogenic based on ACMG guidelines (PMID: 25741868). This variant meets the following evidence codes reported in the ACMG-guideline. PVS1:This variant is a predicted null variant in POLG where loss of function is a known mechanism of disease. PM2:This variant is absent in key population databases. PM3:Detected in trans with a pathogenic variant for Mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome 4A (Alpers type) which is a recessive disorder. PM4:This variant causes alteration in the length of expressed protein. PP1:This variant is co-segregated with Mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome 4A (Alpers type) in multiple affected family members. PP4:Patient's phenotype or family history is highly specific for POLG. Based on the evidence criteria codes applied, the variant is suggested to be Pathogenic. -
