Variant summary
Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 1 ACMG points: 1P and 0B. PP3
The NM_006231.4(POLE):c.1016A>T(p.Asp339Val) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000553 in 1,445,688 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. D339N) has been classified as Likely benign.

not provided Uncertain:4
This sequence change replaces aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, with valine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 339 of the POLE protein (p.Asp339Val). The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the gnomAD database. 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: 405828). 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. -
Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; Observed in a patient suspected of having Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer (PMID: 38136308); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 20951805, 38136308, 29056344) -

This variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance as there is insufficient evidence to determine its impact on protein function and/or cancer risk. -
not specified Uncertain:1
Variant summary: POLE c.1016A>T (p.Asp339Val) results in a non-conservative amino acid change located in the exonuclease domain (IPR006133) of 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 4.1e-06 in 245574 control chromosomes (gnomAD). The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.1016A>T in individuals affected with Colorectal Cancer and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. Four clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:1
The p.D339V variant (also known as c.1016A>T), located in coding exon 10 of the POLE gene, results from an A to T substitution at nucleotide position 1016. The aspartic acid at codon 339 is replaced by valine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -
