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]

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingQuest Diagnostics Nichols Institute San Juan CapistranoJun 30, 2023In the published literature, this variant has been reported in an individual with ovarian cancer who also carried a truncating variant in the RECQL4 gene (PMID: 30306255 (2018)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.000004 (1/251166 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is uninformative in the assessment of its pathogenicity. Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded predictions that this variant is damaging. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJan 11, 2024This sequence change replaces valine, which is neutral and non-polar, with methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 437 of the POLE protein (p.Val437Met). This variant is present in population databases (rs115047349, gnomAD 0.0009%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with ovarian cancer (PMID: 30306255). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 252659). 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 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. -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsMar 24, 2023The p.V437M variant (also known as c.1309G>A), located in coding exon 13 of the POLE gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 1309. The valine at codon 437 is replaced by methionine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
