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), LabcorpJan 31, 2024This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 1528 of the POLE protein (p.Ala1528Thr). This variant is present in population databases (rs373468985, gnomAD 0.004%). 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: 403333). 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. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxOct 16, 2023Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant does not alter protein structure/function; Not observed in any cases, but was observed in unaffected controls from a melanoma study (PMID: 29641532); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 33692861, 29056344, 36853785, 29641532) -

not specified Uncertain:2
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGenetic Services Laboratory, University of ChicagoSep 22, 2021DNA sequence analysis of the POLE gene demonstrated a sequence change, c.4582G>A, in exon 36 that results in an amino acid change, p.Ala1528Thr. This sequence change has been described in the gnomAD database with a frequency of 0.003% in the non-Finnish European subpopulation (dbSNP rs373468985). The p.Ala1528Thr change affects a poorly conserved amino acid residue located in a domain of the POLE protein that is known to be functional. The p.Ala1528Thr substitution appears to be benign using several in-silico pathogenicity prediction tools (SIFT, PolyPhen2, Align GVGD, REVEL). This sequence change does not appear to have been previously described in individuals with POLE-related disorders. Due to insufficient evidences and the lack of functional studies, the clinical significance of the p.Ala1528Thr change remains unknown at this time. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLaboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized MedicineOct 31, 2016Variant 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: This variant has not been reported in affected individuals. It is present in ExAC at a MaxMAF of 0.003%. This AA is not conserved - 30 species have a Thr at this position, including 15 mammals. It is not present in ClinVar and is predicted to be benign by multiple prediction tools. -

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingSt. Jude Molecular Pathology, St. Jude Children's Research HospitalAug 05, 2021The POLE c.4582G>A (p.Ala1528Thr) missense change has a maximum subpopulation frequency of 0.0033% in gnomAD v2.1.1 (https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/12-133219552-C-T). Seven of seven in silico tools predict a benign effect of this variant on protein function (BP4), but to our knowledge these predictions have not been confirmed by functional assays. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with POLE-related disease. This variant has been identified in hypermutated tumors (PMID: 29056344, 33692861), as well as those with low tumor mutational burden (PMID: 29056344). In summary, this variant meets criteria to be classified as of uncertain significance based on the ACMG/AMP criteria: BP4. -
POLE-related disorder Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, no assertion criteria providedclinical testingPreventionGenetics, part of Exact SciencesMar 11, 2024The POLE c.4582G>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Ala1528Thr. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature. This variant is reported in 0.0033% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD. In ClinVar, this variant is interpreted as uncertain (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/403333/). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
