Description

The p.R1096H variant (also known as c.3287G>A), located in coding exon 20 of the POLG gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 3287. The arginine at codon 1096 is replaced by histidine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. In one functional study, this alteration's yeast equivalent was found to cause high mytocondrial dysfunction and decreased polymerase activity leading to mtDNA depletion (Stumpf JD et al. Hum. Mol. Genet., 2010 Jun;19:2123-33). In another functional study, this alteration showed decreased affinity for the DNA substrate and decreased rate of nucleotide incorporation, but increased affinity for the incoming nucleotide (Sohl CD et al. Hum. Mol. Genet., 2013 Mar;22:1074-85). In addition, this alteration has been detected in conjunction with POLG p.R627Q in several individuals with phenotypes including: Alpers syndrome, progressive external ophthalmoplegia (PEO), focal nocturnal motor epilepsy with status epilepticus at one month postpartum, and early-onset cerebellar ataxia with PEO; however, phase was not determined in any of these individuals (Horvath R et al. Brain, 2006 Jul;129:1674-84; Schulte C et al. Neurology, 2009 Sep;73:898-900; Savard M et al. Neurology, 2013 Aug;81:770-1; Schicks J et al. Mov. Disord., 2010 Nov;25:2678-82).This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the majority of available evidence to date, this variant is likely to be pathogenic.
