Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp RCV003515250 SCV004324483 likely pathogenic Progressive sclerosing poliodystrophy 2023-09-18 criteria provided, single submitter clinical testing This sequence change affects an acceptor splice site in intron 18 of the POLG gene. It is expected to disrupt RNA splicing. Variants that disrupt the donor or acceptor splice site typically lead to a loss of protein function (PMID: 16199547), and loss-of-function variants in POLG are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 18546365). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). Disruption of this splice site has been observed in individual(s) with POLG-related conditions (PMID: 29655203). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. 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.
