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]

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 1364 of the POLE protein (p.Arg1364Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs770024304, gnomAD 0.02%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with POLE-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 405621). 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 expected to disrupt POLE protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. 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. -

Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.Arg1364Cys variant in POLE has not been previously reported in individuals with colorectal cancer, but has been identified in 1/66324 of European chromoso mes by the Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC, http://exac.broadinstitute.org; d bSNP rs770024304). Computational prediction tools and conservation analysis sugg est that the p.Arg1364Cys variant may impact the protein, though this informatio n is not predictive enough to determine pathogenicity. In summary, the clinical significance of the p.Arg1364Cys variant is uncertain. -

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.R1364C variant (also known as c.4090C>T), located in coding exon 32 of the POLE gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 4090. The arginine at codon 1364 is replaced by cysteine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -
