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

In the published literature, this variant has been reported in individuals with melanoma and colorectal cancer (PMIDs: 26251183 (2015) and 25559809 (2015)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.000035 (4/113762 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. -

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

Not observed at a significant frequency in large population cohorts (Lek 2016); In silico analysis, which includes protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, supports that this variant does not alter protein structure/function; Observed in individuals with colorectal cancer or melanoma (Aoude 2015, Chubb 2015); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 31034466, 26251183, 25559809, 2559809) -

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces glutamine, which is neutral and polar, with proline, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 352 of the POLE protein (p.Gln352Pro). This variant is present in population databases (rs766094330, gnomAD 0.004%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with colorectal cancer and malignant melanoma (PMID: 25559809, 26251183). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 372024). 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. -

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.Q352P variant (also known as c.1055A>C), located in coding exon 11 of the POLE gene, results from an A to C substitution at nucleotide position 1055. The glutamine at codon 352 is replaced by proline, an amino acid with similar properties. This variant has been reported in 1/1243 individuals with cutaneous melanoma who underwent targeted sequencing of the POLE gene (Aoude LG et al. Fam. Cancer. 2015 Dec;14:621-8). This alteration has also been identified in an individual with colorectal cancer (Chubb D et al. J. Clin. Oncol. 2015 Feb;33(5):426-32). This amino acid position is well 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. -
