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]

Benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxNov 10, 2015This 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. -

This variant was found in 1485/121338 control chromosomes (20 homozygotes) at a frequency of 0.0122385, which is approximately 862 times the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic POLE variant (0.0000142), suggesting this variant is likely a benign polymorphism. In addition, one clinical diagnostic laboratory classified this variant as benign. Taken together, this variant is classified as benign. -

Benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsMay 19, 2015This alteration is classified as 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. -
Carcinoma of colon Benign:1
Likely benign, no assertion criteria providedclinical testingDepartment of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Sinai Health System-The POLE p.Ala31Ser variant was not identified in the literature nor was it identified in the Cosmic, databases. The variant was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs34047482) as With Benign allele, ClinVar (classified as benign by Invitae, Counsyl, GeneDx, Ambry Genetics), Clinvitae (classified as benign by Invitae, ClinVar), MutDB, databases. The variant was identified in control databases in 3418 of 277182 chromosomes (47 homozygous) at a frequency of 0.012 increasing the likelihood this could be a low frequency benign variant (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). Breakdown of the observations by population include African in 85 of 24036 chromosomes (freq: 0.004), Other in 87 of 6464 chromosomes (freq: 0.014), Latino in 214 of 34418 chromosomes (freq: 0.006), EuropeanNon-Finnish in 2527 of 126668 chromosomes (freq: 0.02), AshkenaziJewish in 13 of 10150 chromosomes (freq: 0.0013), EastAsian in 1 of 18870 chromosomes (freq: 0.00005), EuropeanFinnish in 196 of 25794 chromosomes (freq: 0.008), and SouthAsian in 295 of 30782 chromosomes (freq: 0.01). The p.Ala31 residue is conserved in mammals but not in more distantly related organisms, however four out of five computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) do not suggest a high likelihood of impact to the protein; this information is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and 2 of 5 in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer, HumanSpliceFinder) predict a greater than 10% difference in splicing; this is not very predictive of pathogenicity. In addition, GeneDx classified the variant as benign based on 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”. 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. -
