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]

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces proline, which is neutral and non-polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 697 of the POLE protein (p.Pro697Thr). This variant is present in population databases (rs5744800, gnomAD 0.006%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer (PMID: 35264596). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 220705). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt POLE protein function with a negative 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.

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

The POLE c.2089C>A variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Pro697Thr. This variant has been identified in an unspecified tumor tissue specimen (Table S2, Campbell et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 29056344). This variant is reported in 0.0055% of alleles in individuals of East Asian descent in gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/12-133245026-G-T) and is interpreted as uncertain in ClinVar (https://preview.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/220705/). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence.

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Benign:1
Oct 17, 2024
Ambry Genetics
Significance:Likely benign
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This alteration is classified as likely 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.
