Genes affected

POLA1 (HGNC:9173): (DNA polymerase alpha 1, catalytic subunit) This gene encodes the catalytic subunit of DNA polymerase, which together with a regulatory and two primase subunits, forms the DNA polymerase alpha complex. The catalytic subunit plays an essential role in the initiation of DNA replication. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2010]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 10 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant X-24726579-A-G is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chrX-24726579-A-G is described in ClinVar as [Pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 224980.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Oct 05, 2022	This variant has been observed in individuals with X-linked reticulate pigmentary disorder (PMID: 27019227). It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Studies have shown that this variant results in activation of a cryptic donor splice site and introduces a premature termination codon (PMID: 27019227). The resulting mRNA is expected to undergo nonsense-mediated decay. Studies have shown that this variant alters POLA1 gene expression (PMID: 27019227). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 224980). The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate insufficient coverage at this position in the gnomAD database. This sequence change falls in intron 13 of the POLA1 gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the POLA1 protein. RNA analysis indicates that this variant induces altered splicing and may result in an absent or disrupted protein product. However, the current clinical and genetic evidence is not sufficient to establish whether loss-of-function variants in POLA1 cause disease. -
