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

This sequence change replaces glutamine, which is neutral and polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 1239 of the POLE protein (p.Gln1239Arg). This variant is present in population databases (rs146210785, gnomAD 0.03%). 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: 420338). 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. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.Q1239R variant (also known as c.3716A>G), located in coding exon 30 of the POLE gene, results from an A to G substitution at nucleotide position 3716. The glutamine at codon 1239 is replaced by arginine, 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. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: no assertion criteria provided

Collection Method: clinical testing

The POLE c.3716A>G variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Gln1239Arg. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature. This variant is reported in 0.028% of alleles in individuals of African descent in gnomAD, and it has conflicting interpretations in ClinVar including likely benign and uncertain (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/420338/). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
