Description

The NM_002693.2:c.2799T>G (NP_002684.1:p.Ser933Arg) [GRCH38: NC_000015.10:g.89320948A>C] variant in POLG gene is interpretated to be a Likely Pathogenic based on ACMG guidelines (PMID: 25741868). This variant meets the following evidence codes reported in the ACMG-guideline. PM1:This variant is in mutational hot spot or a well-studied functional domain without benign variation. 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. PP1:This variant is co-segregated with Mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome 4A (Alpers type) in multiple affected family members. PP2:This is a missense variant in POLG with a low rate of benign and high rate of pathogenic missense variations. PP3:Computational evidence/predictors indicate the variant has deleterious effect on POLG structure, function, or protein-protein interaction. 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 Likely Pathogenic.

Description

This sequence change replaces serine, which is neutral and polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 933 of the POLG protein (p.Ser933Arg). This variant is present in population databases (rs765916932, gnomAD 0.0009%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with clinical features of autosomal recessive POLG-related conditions (PMID: 21880868). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 431950). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt POLG protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. In summary, the currently available evidence indicates that the variant is pathogenic, but additional data are needed to prove that conclusively. Therefore, this variant has been classified as Likely Pathogenic.
