Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 4 ACMG points: 4P and 0B. PM2 PP3_Moderate

The NM_006231.4(POLE):​c.2908G>A​(p.Gly970Ser) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant was absent in control chromosomes in GnomAD project. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. G970D) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

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 4 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.937

not specified Uncertain:2

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Laboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized Medicine	Feb 26, 2017	The p.Gly970Ser variant in POLE has not been previously reported in individuals with colorectal cancer or in large population studies. Computational prediction tools and conservation analysis suggest that the p.Gly970Ser variant may impact the protein, though this information is not predictive enough to determine patho genicity. In summary, the clinical significance of the p.Gly970Ser variant is un certain. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Genetic Services Laboratory, University of Chicago	Mar 02, 2020	DNA sequence analysis of the POLE gene demonstrated a sequence change, c.2908G>A, in exon 25 that results in an amino acid change, p.Gly970Ser. This sequence change does not appear to have been previously described in patients with POLE-related disorders. This sequence change is absent from the large population databases (ExAC and gnomAD). The p.Gly970Ser change affects a highly conserved amino acid residue located in a domain of the POLE protein that is known to be functional. The p.Gly970Ser substitution appears to be deleterious using several in-silico pathogenicity prediction tools (SIFT, PolyPhen2, Align GVGD, REVEL). Due to these contrasting evidences and the lack of functional studies, the clinical significance of the p.Gly970Ser change remains unknown at this time. -

not provided Uncertain:2

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	Jan 10, 2024	This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with serine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 970 of the POLE protein (p.Gly970Ser). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). 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: 505569). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt POLE protein function with a positive 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. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	GeneDx	Nov 06, 2023	Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; Has not been previously published as pathogenic or benign to our knowledge; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 20951805, 37891325) -

The p.G970S variant (also known as c.2908G>A), located in coding exon 25 of the POLE gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 2908. The glycine at codon 970 is replaced by serine, an amino acid with similar properties. This amino acid position is conserved. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
