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]

Significance: Pathogenic
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg709*) in the POLG gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in POLG are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 18546365). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with POLG-related conditions (PMID: 14635118, 30167885). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 381519). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The NM_002693.2:c.2125C>T (NP_002684.1:p.Arg709Ter) [GRCH38: NC_000015.10:g.89323847G>A] variant in POLG gene is interpretated to be a Pathogenic based on ACMG guidelines (PMID: 25741868). This variant has been reported in PMID:14635118 . 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. Based on the evidence criteria codes applied, the variant is suggested to be Pathogenic. -
