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]

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

Variant identified in a genome or exome case(s) and assessed due to predicted null impact of the variant or pathogenic assertions in the literature or databases. Disclaimer: This variant has not undergone full assessment. The following are preliminary notes: Variant not in HGMD or ClinVar. MaxMAF is 0.11% AA not conserved in mammals - His seen in 6 non-mammals.

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This variant is denoted POLE c.5636G>A at the cDNA level, p.Arg1879His (R1879H) at the protein level, and results in the change of an Arginine to a Histidine (CGT>CAT). This variant has not, to our knowledge, been published in the literature as pathogenic or benign. POLE Arg1879His was observed with an allele frequency of 0.4% (5/1322) in the African populations in 1000 Genomes. Since Arginine and Histidine share similar properties, this is considered a conservative amino acid substitution. POLE Arg1879His occurs at a position where amino acids with properties similar to Arginine are tolerated across species and is not located in a known functional domain (Preston 2010). In silico analyses are inconsistent regarding the effect this variant may have on protein structure and function. Based on currently available evidence, it is unclear whether POLE Arg1879His is a pathogenic or benign variant. We consider it to be a variant of uncertain significance.

Significance:Benign

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This alteration is classified as benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity.

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The POLE c.5636G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Arg1879His. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature. This variant is reported in 0.10% of alleles in individuals of African descent in gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/12-133214642-C-T) and has conflicting interpretations of pathogenicity in ClinVar ranging from likely benign to uncertain (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/403332). Although we suspect that this variant may be benign, at this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence.
