Green List (high evidence)

Mono-allelic disease: more than 10 individuals reported.

Bi-allelic disease: two reports only, one presenting with fulminant liver failure in infancy, and the other an adult with predominantly neurological phenotype. Both had missense variants. Limited evidence.

Mode of inheritance
BOTH monoallelic and biallelic, autosomal or pseudoautosomal

Phenotypes
Progressive external ophthalmoplegia with mitochondrial DNA deletions, autosomal dominant 4, MIM# 610131; Mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome 16 , MIM# 618528

Red List (low evidence)

3 unrelated cases have been reported with gastrointestinal symptoms and 3 different heterozygous missense (L153V, R369G, S423Y). All 3 missense are too common in gnomAD v2.1 for a dominant disease and biochemical assays demonstrated normal function for all expect R369G variants had reduced stimulation of processivity and decreased affinity for the catalytic subunit.
