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]

Disclaimer: This variant has not undergone full assessment. The following are preliminary notes: This variant has not been reported in affected individuals. It is classified in ClinVar with 1 star as Likely benign by Invitae and VUS by GeneDx. It is present in ExAC at a MaxMAF of 0.15% (high for disease incidence and gene contribution). -
Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpMay 14, 2019Variant summary: POLE c.3046G>A (p.Val1016Met) results in a conservative amino acid change located in the DNA-directed DNA polymerase, family B, multifunctional domain (IPR006134) of the encoded protein sequence. Three of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00078 in 248236 control chromosomes in the gnomAD database, including 1 homozygote. The observed variant frequency is approximately 55 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in POLE causing Colorectal Cancer phenotype (1.4e-05), strongly suggesting that the variant is benign. c.3046G>A has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with various tumor phenotypes, e.g. colorectal cancer and cutaneous melanoma, but without strong evidence of causality (Dominguez-Valentin_2018, Pritchard_2018). To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Nine clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation, one classified as likely benign while the others classified as VUS. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as likely benign. -

Uncertain significance, no assertion criteria providedclinical testingDepartment of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Sinai Health System-The POLE p.Val1016Met variant was not identified in the literature nor was it identified in the Cosmic or MutDB databases. The variant was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs147692158) as “With Uncertain significance allele” and ClinVar (as likely benign by Invitae, and uncertain significance by GeneDx, Laboratory for Molecular Medicine Partners Health Care Personalized Medicine, Quest Diagnostics and Ambry Genetics). The variant was identified in control databases in 206 of 273880 chromosomes (1 homozygous) at a frequency of 0.0008 increasing the likelihood this could be a low frequency benign variant (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). It was observed in the following populations: African in 5 of 24010 chromosomes (freq: 0.0002), Other in 6 of 6400 chromosomes (freq: 0.0009), Latino in 8 of 34170 chromosomes (freq: 0.0002), European (Non-Finnish) in 172 of 124734 chromosomes (freq: 0.001), Finnish in 15 of 25468 chromosomes (freq: 0.0006); it was not observed in the Ashkenazi Jewish, East Asian, and South Asian populations. The p.Val1016 residue is conserved in mammals and computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) provide inconsistent predictions regarding the impact to the protein; this information is not very predictive of pathogenicity. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer, HumanSpliceFinder) do not predict a difference in splicing. In summary, based on the above information the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time. This variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance. -
