Mutations in only a single POLG allele rarely cause POLG-related syndromes. The few known dominant mutations have consistently exhibited late/ adult disease onset in patients.For further information, please see our analysis of dominant POLG mutations, and the full list of dominant mutations. Mutation A889T is found in the database as a single cluster-mapping mutation in patients, which suggests it can be dominant, and may cause a pathogenic phenotype by itself. Elevated/ significant risk of POLG syndrome exists. See full list of putatively-dominant POLG mutations |
