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]

This sequence change replaces methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, with isoleucine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 66 of the POLE protein (p.Met66Ile). This variant is present in population databases (rs764962999, gnomAD 0.006%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with attenuated adenomatous polyposis (PMID: 31285513). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 540773). 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. -

The p.M66I variant (also known as c.198G>A), located in coding exon 2 of the POLE gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 198. The methionine at codon 66 is replaced by isoleucine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This variant was identified in one individual in a Spanish cohort of 158 individuals with attenuated polyposis who underwent multi-gene panel testing (Lorca V et al. Sci Rep, 2019 Jul;9:9814). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. 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. -
