Description

The NM_002693.2:c.3383G>A (NP_002684.1:p.Arg1128His) [GRCH38: NC_000015.10:g.89318640C>T] 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. PP3:Computational evidence/predictors indicate the variant has deleterious effect on POLG structure, function, or protein-protein interaction. 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. PP5:Reputable source(s) suggest that the variant is pathogenic. Based on the evidence criteria codes applied, the variant is suggested to be Likely Pathogenic.

Description

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 1128 of the POLG protein (p.Arg1128His). This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.002%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of POLG-related conditions (PMID: 18546365). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 593423). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, Align-GVGD) all suggest that this variant is likely to be disruptive. 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.
