Description

Variant summary: POLG c.679C>T (p.Arg227Trp) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the DNA mitochondrial polymerase, exonuclease domain (IPR041336) of the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-06 in 247648 control chromosomes (gnomAD). c.679C>T has been reported in the literature in multiple individuals affected with features of Mitochondrial DNA Depletion Syndrome - POLG Related (e.g. de Vries_2007, Hikmat_2017, Lindstrand_2019). These data indicate that the variant is very likely to be associated with disease. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 28471437, 31694722, 16957900). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 13515). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic.
