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:Benign
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This variant is considered likely benign or benign based on one or more of the following criteria: it is a conservative change, it occurs at a poorly conserved position in the protein, it is predicted to be benign by multiple in silico algorithms, and/or has population frequency not consistent with disease. -

Variant summary: The POLE c.2320-13A>G variant involves the alteration of a non-conserved intronic nucleotide. One in silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 4/5 splice prediction tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. This variant was found in 723/118988 control chromosomes (15 homozygotes) at a frequency of 0.0060762, which is approximately 428 times the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic POLE variant (0.0000142), suggesting this variant is likely a benign polymorphism. Taken together, this variant is classified as benign. -

The POLE c.2320-13A>G variant was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs75329753) “With Benign allele”, and ClinVar (classified benign by GeneDx and 2 other laboratories). The variant was identified in control databases in 1761 (45 homozygous) of 272276 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.006 increasing the likelihood this could be a low frequency benign variant (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). The variant was observed in the following populations: African in 1411 (43 homozygous) of 23996 chromosomes (freq: 0.06), Other in 34 of 6412 chromosomes (freq: 0.005), Latino in 144 (2 homozygous) of 34316 chromosomes (freq: 0.004), European Non-Finnish in 67 of 125992 chromosomes (freq: 0.0005), Ashkenazi Jewish in 95 of 10114 chromosomes (freq: 0.009), and South Asian in 10 of 30724 chromosomes (freq: 0.0003) while not observed in the East Asian and European Finnish populations. In summary, based on the above information this variant meets our laboratory's criteria to be classified as benign. -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Benign:1
May 19, 2015
Ambry Genetics
Significance:Benign
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This alteration is classified as benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -
