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]

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpApr 15, 2023In 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. Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 823511). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with POLE-related conditions. This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.003%). This sequence change falls in intron 4 of the POLE gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the POLE protein. It affects a nucleotide within the consensus splice site. -
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsMar 31, 2019The c.330+3G>T intronic variant results from a G to T substitution 3 nucleotides after coding exon 4 in the POLE gene. This nucleotide position is poorly conserved in available vertebrate species. Using two different splice site prediction tools, this alteration is predicted by ESEfinder to weaken the efficiency of the native splice donor site, but is not predicted to have a deleterious effect on this splice donor site by BDGP; however, direct evidence is unavailable. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
