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]

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

This variant is considered likely benign or benign based on one or more of the following criteria: it is a conservative change, it occurs at a poorly conserved position in the protein, it is predicted to be benign by multiple in silico algorithms, and/or has population frequency not consistent with disease. -

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

The intron variant NM_006231.4(POLE):c.2026+9C>T has not been reported previously as a pathogenic variant, to our knowledge. The c.2026+9C>T variant is not predicted to disrupt the existing donor splice site 7bp upstream by any splice site algorithm. The c.2026+9C>T variant results in a substitution of a base that is not predicted conserved by GERP++ and PhyloP. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Likely Benign -

The POLE c.2026+9C>T variant was not identified in the literature. The variant was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs373790607) as "With other allele ", and in ClinVar (classified as benign by Invitae; as likely benign Counsyl, GeneDx, Quest Diagnostics Nichols Institute San Juan Capistrano). The variant was identified in control databases in 104 of 276484 chromosomes (1 homozygous) at a frequency of 0.0004 increasing the likelihood this could be a low frequency benign variant (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). The variant was observed in the following populations: African in 5 of 23998 chromosomes (freq: 0.0002), Latino in 10 of 34348 chromosomes (freq: 0.0003), European in 53 of 126330 chromosomes (freq: 0.0004), and South Asian in 36 of 30722 chromosomes (freq: 0.001); it was not observed in the “Other”, Ashkenazi Jewish, East Asian, and Finnish populations. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer, HumanSpliceFinder) do not predict a difference in splicing. In summary, based on the above information the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time although we would lean towards a more benign role for this variant. This variant is classified as likely benign. -
