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:Pathogenic

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Leu698Cysfs*94) in the POLE gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in POLE are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 23230001, 25948378, 30503519). The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the gnomAD database. 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: 240424). 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.2091delC variant, located in coding exon 19 of the POLE gene, results from a deletion of one nucleotide at nucleotide position 2091, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.L698Cfs*94). This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Loss-of-function variants subject to nonsense mediated decay (NMD) in POLE are known to cause POLE deficiency; however, such associations with POLE-related polymerase proofreading-associated polyposis (PPAP) have not been reported. Based on the supporting evidence, this alteration is pathogenic for POLE deficiency; however, the association of this alteration with POLE-related polymerase proofreading-associated polyposis (PPAP) is unknown.
