chr12-132632665-G-A

Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely benign. The variant received -6 ACMG points: 0P and 6B. BP4_StrongBP6BP7

The NM_006231.4(POLE):​c.6135C>T​(p.Pro2045Pro) variant causes a splice region, synonymous change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000564 in 1,613,844 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 3/3 splice prediction tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. P2045P) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

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]

Laboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized Medicine
Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

Variant classified as Uncertain Significance - Favor Benign. The p.Pro2045Pro va riant in POLE has not been previously reported in individuals with colorectal ca ncer but has been identified in 5/8596 of East Asian chromosomes by the Exome Ag gregation Consortium (ExAC, http://exac.broadinstitute.org; dbSNP rs368662693). This variant is located in the last three bases of the exon, which is part of th e 5? splice region. Computational tools do not suggest an impact to splicing. Ho wever, this information is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. In s ummary, the clinical significance of the p.Pro2045Pro variant is uncertain altho ugh it is suspected to be more likely benign. -

Significance:Likely benign
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

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. -
