Genes affected
POLG2 (HGNC:9180): (DNA polymerase gamma 2, accessory subunit) This gene encodes the processivity subunit of the mitochondrial DNA polymerase gamma. The encoded protein forms a heterotrimer containing one catalytic subunit and two processivity subunits. This protein enhances DNA binding and promotes processive DNA synthesis. Mutations in this gene result in autosomal dominant progressive external ophthalmoplegia with mitochondrial DNA deletions.[provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009]

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJun 19, 2023In 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. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects POLG2 function (PMID: 30157269). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be disruptive. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 252958). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with POLG2-related conditions (PMID: 27592148). This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.007%). This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 182 of the POLG2 protein (p.Arg182Trp). -
Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxAug 02, 2016The R182W variant in the POLG2 gene has been reported in the homozygous state in an individual with infantile fulminant liver failure and mitochondrial depletion in liver and muscle. This individual's heterozygous parents were reportedly unaffected (Varma et al., 2016). The R182W variant was not observed in approximately 6500 individuals of European and African American ancestry in the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project, indicating it is not a common benign variant in these populations. The R182W variant is a non-conservative amino acid substitution, which is likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues differ in polarity, charge, size and/or other properties. This substitution occurs at a position that is conserved across species and in silico analysis predicts this variant is probably damaging to the protein structure/function. Therefore, we interpret R182W as a likely pathogenic variant, however the possibility it may be a rare benign variant cannot be excluded. -
