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 leucine with valine at codon 1110 of the POLE protein (p.Leu1110Val). The leucine residue is highly conserved and there is a small physicochemical difference between leucine and valine. 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. Algorithms developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function do not agree on the potential impact of this missense change (SIFT: "Deleterious"; PolyPhen-2: "Probably Damaging"; Align-GVGD: "Class C15"). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with POLE-related disease. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency).

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

The p.L1110V variant (also known as c.3328C>G), located in coding exon 27 of the POLE gene, results from a C to G substitution at nucleotide position 3328. The leucine at codon 1110 is replaced by valine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear.
