Variant summary
Our verdict is Likely benign. Variant got -1 ACMG points: 0P and 1B. BP6
The NM_006231.4(POLE):c.154C>T(p.Arg52Trp) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000126 in 1,614,026 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. R52Q) has been classified as Likely benign.

not provided Uncertain:4
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | Invitae | Feb 01, 2024 | This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 52 of the POLE protein (p.Arg52Trp). This variant is present in population databases (rs115452881, gnomAD 0.02%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with breast cancer (PMID: 35264596). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 240396). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae 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. - |

Colorectal cancer, susceptibility to, 12 Uncertain:2
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | St. Jude Molecular Pathology, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital | Sep 28, 2022 | The POLE c.154C>T (p.Arg52Trp) missense change has a maximum subpopulation frequency of 0.025% in gnomAD v2.1.1 (https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). The in silico tool REVEL is inconclusive about a pathogenic or benign effect of this variant on protein function, and to our knowledge functional studies have not been performed. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with POLE-related disease. In summary, the evidence currently available is insufficient to determine the clinical significance of this variant. It has therefore been classified as of uncertain significance. - |

POLE-related disorder Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | PreventionGenetics, part of Exact Sciences | Dec 05, 2023 | The POLE c.154C>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Arg52Trp. This variant has been reported in a cohort of individuals with a history breast cancer, but was interpreted as uncertain (Supplementary Table 3, Guindalini et al. 2022. PubMed ID: 35264596). This variant is reported in 0.025% of alleles in individuals of Latino descent in gnomAD. This variant is interpreted as uncertain significance by the vast majority of submitters in ClinVar (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/240396/). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. - |
