This variant has been reported in PMID:16545482 . This variant meets the following evidence codes reported in the ACMG-guideline. PS1:This variation causes same amino-acid change as an established pathogenic variant. PS3:Well established functional studies show a deleterious effect on POLG. 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. 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 Pathogenic. (less)

The frequency of this variant in the general population is consistent with pathogenicity. (Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD), Cambridge, MA (URL: http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)) This variant has been identified in individuals with autosomal recessive POLG-related disorders. Assessment of experimental evidence suggests this variant results in abnormal protein function. (PMID: 19478085) In multiple individuals, this variant has been seen with a single recessive pathogenic variant in the same gene, suggesting this variant may also be pathogenic. The variant is located in a region that is considered important for protein function and/or structure. (less)

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 852 of the POLG protein (p.Arg852Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs144500145, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with Alpers syndrome, and ataxia neuropathy spectrum (PMID: 16545482, 18546365, 21880868, 22000311; Invitae). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 206528). 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%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects POLG function (PMID: 19478085). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. (less)

The c.2554C>T (p.R852C) alteration is located in exon 16 (coding exon 15) of the POLG gene. This alteration results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 2554, causing the arginine (R) at amino acid position 852 to be replaced by a cysteine (C). Based on the available evidence, the POLG c.2554C>T (p.R852C) alteration is classified as pathogenic for autosomal recessive POLG-related mitochondrial disorders; however, the association of this alteration with autosomal dominant progressive external ophthalmoplegia is unlikely. Based on data from gnomAD, the T allele has an overall frequency of <0.01% (13/282784) total alleles studied. The highest observed frequency was 0.01% (13/129132) of European (non-Finnish) alleles. This alteration has been reported in the compound heterozygous state in individuals with autosomal recessive POLG-related mitochondrial disorders (Hunter, 2011; Nguyen, 2006; Papandreou, 2018; Stödberg, 2020). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. Functional studies suggest that this alteration impairs DNA binding affinity and polymerase activity (Kasiviswanathan, 2009). This alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, this alteration is classified as pathogenic. (less)

Variant summary: POLG c.2554C>T (p.Arg852Cys) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the DNA polymerase gamma, palm domain (IPR047580) of the encoded protein sequence. Five of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4.8e-05 in 251398 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.00011 within the Non-Finnish European subpopulation in the gnomAD database. c.2554C>T has been reported in the literature in the compound heterozygous state in individuals affected with POLG-Related Spectrum Disorders (e.g. Nguyen_2006, Wong_2008, Hunter_2011, Papandreou_2018). These data indicate that the variant is likely to be associated with disease. At least one publication reports experimental evidence evaluating an impact on protein function and found the variant results in <10% of normal activity (Kasiviswanathan_2009). The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 22000311, 19478085, 16545482, 30167885, 18546365). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 206528). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as pathogenic. (less)
