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 threonine, which is neutral and polar, with alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 737 of the POLE protein (p.Thr737Ala). This variant is present in population databases (rs779102091, gnomAD 0.005%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer and/or pancreatic cancer (PMID: 35264596, 36896836). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 405791). 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) has been performed for this missense variant. However, the output from this modeling did not meet the statistical confidence thresholds required to predict the impact of this variant on POLE protein function. 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.T737A variant (also known as c.2209A>G), located in coding exon 20 of the POLE gene, results from an A to G substitution at nucleotide position 2209. The threonine at codon 737 is replaced by alanine, an amino acid with similar properties. This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -
