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]

Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxDec 07, 2017This variant is considered likely benign or benign based on one or more of the following criteria: it is a conservative change, it occurs at a poorly conserved position in the protein, it is predicted to be benign by multiple in silico algorithms, and/or has population frequency not consistent with disease. -

Benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpAug 05, 2019Variant summary: POLE c.16G>C (p.Gly6Arg) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0027 in 110214 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.0045 within the Non-Finnish European subpopulation in the gnomAD database, including 1 homozygote. The observed variant frequency within Non-Finnish European control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 317 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in POLE causing Colorectal Cancer phenotype (1.4e-05), strongly suggesting that the variant is a benign polymorphism found primarily in populations of Non-Finnish European origin. c.16G>C has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Colorectal Cancer (ex Kothari_2016). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Colorectal Cancer. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Ten clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. Nine of these ten have classified the variant as benign (n=3)/likely benign (n=6). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was re-evaluated as benign. -
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Benign:3
Benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsNov 06, 2019This alteration is classified as 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. -

Carcinoma of colon Benign:1
Benign, no assertion criteria providedclinical testingDepartment of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Sinai Health System-The POLE p.Gly6Arg variant was not identified in the literature nor was it identified in the MutDB database. The variant was identified in the following databases: dbSNP (ID: rs202220778) as “With other allele”, ClinVar and Clinvitae (9x as benign by Invitae and Ambry Genetics, as likely benign by Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, University of Washington Medical Center, Counsyl, GeneDx, Quest Diagnostics, Integrated Genetics, and as uncertain significance by Center for Pediatric Genomic Medicine). The variant was identified in control databases in 353 of 136976 chromosomes (2 homozygous) at a frequency of 0.0025 increasing the likelihood this could be a low frequency variant (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). The variant was observed in the African in 13 of 11652 chromosomes (freq: 0.0011), “Other” in 11 of 3924 chromosomes (freq: 0.003), Latino in 51 of 21270 chromosomes (freq: 0.002), European Non-Finnish in 220 of 52786 chromosomes (freq: 0.004), Ashkenazi Jewish in 44 of 7670 chromosomes (freq: 0.006), European Finnish in 10 of 11688 chromosomes (freq: 0.00085), and South Asian in 4 of 19714 chromosomes (freq: 0.000203). While the variant was not observed in the East Asian, populations. The p.Gly6Arg residue is not conserved in mammals and four out of five computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) do not suggest a high likelihood of impact to the protein; however, this information is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer, HumanSpliceFinder) do not predict a difference in splicing. In summary, based on the above information this variant meets our laboratory's criteria to be classified as benign. -
