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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_benign. Variant got -1 ACMG points.

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); Has not been previously published as pathogenic or benign to our knowledge; 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. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The POLE c.90G>A (p.Ser30=) synonymous change has a maximum subpopulation frequency of 0.007% in gnomAD v2.1.1 (https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). Algorithms that predict the impact of sequence changes on splicing indicate that this change may impact splicing, but to our knowledge these predictions have not been confirmed by RNA studies. The variant is not located within the exonuclease domain. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with POLE-related disease. In summary, the evidence currently available is insufficient to determine the clinical significance of this variant. It has therefore been classified as of uncertain significance. -

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. -
