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 affects the initiator methionine of the POLE mRNA. The next in-frame methionine is located at codon 44. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). Disruption of the initiator codon has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of autosomal recessive FILS syndrome (PMID: 30503519). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. It has also been observed to segregate with disease in related individuals. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 540655). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.M1? variant (also known as c.3G>A), located in coding exon 1 of the POLE gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 3. This alters the methionine residue at the initiation codon. However, there exists a possible alternate initiation site just 43 residues downstream. This amino acid position is well conserved on limited sequence alignment. Variations that modify the initiation codon (ATG) are expected to result in either loss of translation initiation or N-terminal truncation. However, as neither this specific alteration nor loss-of-function as a mechanism of pathogenicity have been well-described in the POLE gene, the clinical significance of this variant remains unknown. -
