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]

not provided Uncertain:2
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxOct 24, 2022In silico analysis, which includes protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, supports that this variant does not alter protein structure/function; Has not been previously published as pathogenic or benign to our knowledge -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpJan 02, 2024This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with glutamine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 1556 of the POLE protein (p.Arg1556Gln). This variant is present in population databases (rs762965148, gnomAD 0.02%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with POLE-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 240533). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt POLE protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. 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. -
POLE-related disorder Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, no assertion criteria providedclinical testingPreventionGenetics, part of Exact SciencesMar 29, 2024The POLE c.4667G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Arg1556Gln. This variant was reported in an individual with epithelial ovarian cancer (Song et al. 2021. PubMed ID: 32546565, Supplementary Table 6). This variant is reported in 0.016% of alleles in individuals of South Asian descent in gnomAD and is interpreted as uncertain in ClinVar (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/240533/). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
not specified Benign:1
Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpDec 21, 2023Variant summary: POLE c.4667G>A (p.Arg1556Gln) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the DNA polymerase epsilon, catalytic subunit A, C-terminal domain (IPR013697) of the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 4e-05 in 250962 control chromosomes. The observed variant frequency is approximately 2.81 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in POLE causing Colorectal Cancer phenotype (1.4e-05), strongly suggesting that the variant is benign. c.4667G>A has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Hereditary Non-polyposis Colorectal Cancer (e.g. Mur_2020) or with triple-negative breast cancer (e.g. Bhai_2021), including in the presence of a alternate pathogenic variant. These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Colorectal Cancer. Co-occurrences with other pathogenic variant(s) have been reported (BRCA1 c.2990delA, p.Asn997Ilefs*3) (Bhai_2021), providing supporting evidence for a benign role. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 34326862, 32792570). Two submitters have cited clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. All submitters classified the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -
