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]

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpAug 07, 2023This variant is present in population databases (rs779223088, gnomAD 0.01%). 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. Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). RNA analysis performed to evaluate the impact of this variant on mRNA splicing indicates it does not significantly alter splicing (Invitae). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 405588). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with POLE-related conditions. This sequence change falls in intron 41 of the POLE gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the POLE protein. It affects a nucleotide within the consensus splice site. -
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsNov 21, 2018The c.5678+5G>A intronic variant results from a G to A substitution 5 nucleotides after coding exon 41 in the POLE gene. This nucleotide position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. Using the BDGP and ESEfinder splice site prediction tools, this alteration is predicted to weaken the efficiency of the native splice donor site; however, direct evidence is unavailable. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
