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]

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 1324 of the POLE protein (p.Arg1324His). This variant is present in population databases (rs143981093, 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: 240495). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) 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. -

Found in patient having exome sequencing due to suspicion for hereditary colon cancer and/or polyps. Patient is a 76 year old with pancreatic cancer diagnosed at age 64, colon cancer diagnosed at age 72 and a history of over 20 colon polyps. Family history is positive for colon cancer in a paternal uncle diagnosed in his 70s. Not in exonuclease domain. -

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

The p.R1324H variant (also known as c.3971G>A), located in coding exon 31 of the POLE gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 3971. The arginine at codon 1324 is replaced by histidine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -
