Variant summary
Our verdict is Likely benign. The variant received -5 ACMG points: 0P and 5B. BP4_StrongBP6
The NM_006231.4(POLE):c.6727G>A(p.Ala2243Thr) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000178 in 1,461,682 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 16/22 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. A2243S) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

Submissions by phenotype
not provided    Uncertain:2 
Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis indicates that this missense variant does not alter protein structure/function; Observed in individuals with breast cancer (PMID: 34326862); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 19296856, 34326862) -
This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with threonine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 2243 of the POLE protein (p.Ala2243Thr). This variant is present in population databases (rs747349009, gnomAD 0.003%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer (PMID: 34326862). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 240614). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae 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. -
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome    Benign:1 
This alteration is classified as likely 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. -
