Genes affected
POLE (HGNC:9177): (DNA polymerase epsilon, catalytic subunit) This gene encodes the catalytic subunit of DNA polymerase epsilon. The enzyme is involved in DNA repair and chromosomal DNA replication. Mutations in this gene have been associated with colorectal cancer 12 and facial dysmorphism, immunodeficiency, livedo, and short stature. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2013]

Collection Method:clinical testing

This variant, c.5892_5894dup, results in the insertion of 1 amino acid(s) of the POLE protein (p.Glu1966dup), but otherwise preserves the integrity of the reading frame. This variant is present in population databases (rs757774039, gnomAD 0.0009%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with POLE-related conditions. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.5892_5894dupGGA variant (also known as p.E1966dup), located in coding exon 43 of the POLE gene, results from an in-frame duplication of GGA at nucleotide positions 5892 to 5894. This results in the duplication of an extra glutamic acid residue between codons 1966 and 1967. This amino acid position is poorly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be neutral by in silico analysis (Choi Y et al. PLoS ONE. 2012; 7(10):e46688). Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -
