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]

Variant summary: The POLE c.2550C>T (p.Ile850Ile) variant involves the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide, resulting in a synonymous change. One in silico tool predicts a polymorphism outcome for this variant. 4/5 splice prediction tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. This variant was found in 524/121336 control chromosomes (13 homozygotes) at a frequency of 0.0043186, which is approximately 304 times the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic POLE variant (0.0000142), suggesting this variant is likely a benign polymorphism. In addition, one clinical diagnostic laboratory classified this variant as benign. Taken together, this variant is classified as benign. -

This 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. -
