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:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with serine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 653 of the POLE protein (p.Ala653Ser). This variant is present in population databases (rs751451482, gnomAD 0.02%). 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: 421176). 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. -

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.Ala653Ser variant in POLE has not been previously reported in individuals with colorectal cancer, but has been identified in 2/10378 African chromosomes b y the Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC, http://exac.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs751451482). Computational prediction tools and conservation analysis do not pr ovide strong support for or against an impact to the protein. In summary, the cl inical significance of the p.Ala635Ser variant is uncertain -

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.A653S variant (also known as c.1957G>T), located in coding exon 18 of the POLE gene, results from a G to T substitution at nucleotide position 1957. The alanine at codon 653 is replaced by serine, an amino acid with similar properties. This amino acid position is conserved. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -
