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: POLE c.6262C>T (p.Pro2088Ser) results in a non-conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a damaging effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 3.6e-05 in 251446 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 7.9e-05 within the Non-Finnish European subpopulation in the gnomAD database. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.6262C>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with HNPCC (Henn_2019). These report(s) do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Colorectal Cancer. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publication have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 30680046). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 240589). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

The p.Pro2088Ser variant in POLE has not been previously reported in individuals with colorectal cancer, but has been identified in 3/66716 of European chromoso mes by the Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC, http://exac.broadinstitute.org; d bSNP rs749342382). Computational prediction tools and conservation analysis do n ot provide strong support for or against an impact to the protein. In summary, t he clinical significance of the p.Pro2088Ser variant is uncertain. -

This sequence change replaces proline, which is neutral and non-polar, with serine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 2088 of the POLE protein (p.Pro2088Ser). This variant is present in population databases (rs749342382, gnomAD 0.009%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with colorectal cancer (PMID: 30680046). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 240589). 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%. 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 POLE c.6262C>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Pro2088Ser. This variant was reported in one individual with personal and family history of colorectal cancer (Table S4, Henn et al. 2019. PubMed ID: 30680046). This variant is reported in 0.0085% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD. It is interpreted in ClinVar as uncertain significance (https://preview.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/240589/). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
