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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Uncertain_significance. Variant got 5 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: Splicing scoreres supports a deletorius effect: Scorers claiming Pathogenic: dbscSNV1_ADA, dbscSNV1_RF, max_spliceai. No scorers claiming Uncertain. No scorers claiming Benign.
• PP5: Variant 12-132657973-G-C is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr12-132657973-G-C is described in ClinVar as [Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity]. Clinvar id is 576293.We mark this variant Likely_pathogenic, oryginal submissions are: {Uncertain_significance=1, Pathogenic=1}.

Significance: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change falls in intron 26 of the POLE gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the POLE protein. RNA analysis indicates that this variant induces altered splicing and may result in an absent or disrupted protein product. This variant is present in population databases (rs781306395, 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: 576293). Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Studies have shown that this variant results in activation of a cryptic splice site and introduces a premature termination codon (Invitae). The resulting mRNA is expected to undergo nonsense-mediated decay. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.3276-3C>G intronic variant results from a C to G substitution 3 nucleotides upstream from coding exon 27 in the POLE gene. This nucleotide position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. Using two different splice site prediction tools, this alteration is predicted by BDGP to abolish the native splice acceptor site, but is predicted to weaken (but not abolish) the efficiency of the native splice acceptor site by ESEfinder; however, direct evidence is unavailable. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
