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]

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 428 of the POLE protein (p.Ala428Thr). This variant is present in population databases (rs150032060, gnomAD 0.03%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with endometrial cancer (PMID: 25505230, 34326862). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 405877). 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%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change does not substantially affect POLE function (PMID: 25228659). 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 POLE c.1282G>A (p.Ala428Thr) missense change has a maximum subpopulation frequency of 0.025% in gnomAD v2.1.1 (https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). The in silico tool REVEL is inconclusive about a pathogenic or benign effect of this variant on protein function. Although this variant is located in the exonuclease domain, a functional study evaluating exonuclease activity demonstrated normal protein function (PMID: 25228659). This variant has been reported in individual(s) with endometrial cancer (PMID: 25505230). 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: Uncertain significance
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.A428T variant (also known as c.1282G>A), located in coding exon 13 of the POLE gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 1282. The alanine at codon 428 is replaced by threonine, an amino acid with similar properties. This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
