Variant summary

Our verdict is Benign. The variant received -7 ACMG points: 2P and 9B. PM5BP4_StrongBP6BS1

The NM_006231.4(POLE):​c.1021G>T​(p.Ala341Ser) variant causes a missense, splice region change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000477 in 1,612,600 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 15/26 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. 2/3 splice prediction tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense has been classified as Likely pathogenic.

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]

In silico analysis indicates that this missense variant does not alter protein structure/function; In silico analysis suggests this variant may impact gene splicing. In the absence of RNA/functional studies, the actual effect of this sequence change is unknown.; Has not been previously published as pathogenic or benign to our knowledge; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 20951805, 26251183) -

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. -

PreventionGenetics, part of Exact Sciences
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:no assertion criteria provided
Collection Method:clinical testing

The POLE c.1021G>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Ala341Ser. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature in association with POLE-related disease. This variant is reported in 0.096% of alleles in individuals of African descent in gnomAD and is present in the NHLBI GO Exome Sequencing Project cohort, which included in gnomAD (Table S5, Aoude et al. 2015. PubMed ID: 26251183). It has conflicting interpretations of likely benign and uncertain significance in ClinVar (https://preview.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/240372/). Although we suspect that this variant may be benign, at this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
