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]

This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency) and has not been reported in the literature in individuals with a POLE-related disease. In summary, this variant is a novel in-frame deletion with uncertain impact on protein function. It has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. Experimental studies and prediction algorithms are not available for this variant, and the functional significance of the deleted amino acid is currently unknown. This sequence change deletes 3 nucleotides from exon 40 of the POLE mRNA (c.5539_5541delAAG). This leads to the deletion of 1 amino acid residue in the POLE protein (p.Lys1847del) but otherwise preserves the integrity of the reading frame. -

The c.5539_5541delAAG variant (also known as p.K1847del) is located in coding exon 40 of the POLE gene. This variant results from an in-frame AAG deletion at nucleotide positions 5539 to 5541. This results in the in-frame deletion of a lysine at codon 1847. This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis (Choi Y et al. PLoS ONE. 2012; 7(10):e46688). Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
