Variant summary
Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 2 ACMG points: 2P and 0B. PP3_Moderate
The NM_006231.4(POLE):c.902A>G(p.Asp301Gly) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000435 in 1,610,250 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. D301N) has been classified as Likely benign.

This sequence change replaces aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, with glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 301 of the POLE protein (p.Asp301Gly). This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.002%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with colorectal cancer (PMID: 29212164). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 405730). 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. -
The POLE c.902A>G (p.Asp301Gly) variant has been reported in the published literature in an individual affected with colorectal cancer (PMID: 29212164 (2017)). One functional study reported this variant to have intermediate activity based on the survival of genome-edited haploid cells (PMID: 34749799 (2021)), however, further research is needed. The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.000008 (2/251400 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is uninformative in the assessment of its pathogenicity. Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded predictions that this variant is damaging. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -
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 individuals with familial colorectal cancer (PMID: 29212164); Published functional studies demonstrate intermediate cell survival (PMID: 34749799); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 27720647, 29056344, 29212164, 20951805, 34749799) -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:1
The p.D301G variant (also known as c.902A>G), located in coding exon 9 of the POLE gene, results from an A to G substitution at nucleotide position 902. The aspartic acid at codon 301 is replaced by glycine, an amino acid with similar properties. This variant was identified in a male with MMR proficient colon cancer diagnosed at age 58 and no reported history of polyps from a cohort of 1046 individuals with familial colorectal cancer (Raskin L et al. Oncotarget, 2017 Nov;8:93450-93463). 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. -
