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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 6 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP3: MetaRNN computational evidence supports a deleterious effect, 0.95

This sequence change replaces proline with arginine at codon 286 of the POLE protein (p.Pro286Arg). The proline residue is highly conserved and there is a moderate physicochemical difference between proline and arginine. This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This variant has not been reported in the literature in the germline of individuals with a POLE-related disease, however, it has been reported as a frequent somatic change in endometrial and colorectal cancers (PMID: 23263490, 23447401, 25224212, 24525744). This variant is located within the evolutionarily conserved exonuclease domain of the POLE protein (PMID: 23447401, 24525744). Experimental studies have shown that the P301R yeast mutant, corresponding to the p.Pro286Arg change, severely affects the fidelity rather than the proofreading function of the POLE protein, causing a strong mutator phenotype in a yeast model system (PMID: 24525744). In addition, this variant showed a reduced 3'-5' exonuclease activity compared to the wild-type protein (PMID: 25228659). In summary, this variant is a rare missense change that is not present in the population and has been shown to affect protein function. Although this variant has been found as a frequent somatic event in tumors, it has not been observed in the germline of affected individuals. In the absence of genetic and/or additional evidence, this variant has been classified as Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
