RCV000657417 | SCV000779152 | uncertain significance | not provided | 2017-11-21 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | This duplication of one nucleotide in POLD1 is denoted c.2795dupG at the cDNA level and p.Val933CysfsX21 (V933CfsX21) at the protein level. The normal sequence, with the base that is duplciated in brackets, is AAGG[dupG]TGTG. The deletion causes a frameshift which changes a Valine to a Cysteine at codon 933, and creates a premature stop codon at position 21 of the new reading frame. Although this variant has not, to our knowledge, been reported in the literature, it is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function through either protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. While some missense variants in POLD1 have been recognized as an underlying cause of Polymerase Proofreading-Associated Polyposis (PPAP), there are no data at this time to support that loss-of-function variants confer the same cancer risks. We therefore consider this variant to be of uncertain significance with respect to cancer. |
