Variant summary

Our verdict is Uncertain significance. Variant got 2 ACMG points: 2P and 0B. PP3_Moderate

The NM_006231.4(POLE):c.666C>T(p.Arg222=) variant causes a synonymous change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000805 in 1,613,988 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★★). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. R222R) has been classified as Likely benign.

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 sequence change affects codon 222 of the POLE mRNA. It is a 'silent' change, meaning that it does not change the encoded amino acid sequence of the POLE protein. RNA analysis indicates that this variant induces altered splicing and may result in an absent or disrupted protein product. The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the gnomAD database. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with POLE-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 540809). Studies have shown that this variant results in activation of a cryptic splice site and introduces a premature termination codon (Invitae). The resulting mRNA is expected to undergo nonsense-mediated decay. 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 c.666C>T variant (also known as p.R222R), located in coding exon 7 of the POLE gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 666. This nucleotide substitution does not change the at codon 222. This nucleotide position is poorly conserved in available vertebrate species. This alteration is predicted by BDGP and HSF to create a new alternate splice donor site, but ESEfinder does not predict the creation of a non-native donor site, nor a deleterious effect on splicing (Desmet FO et al. Nucleic Acids Res. 2009 May;37:e67); however, direct evidence is unavailable. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
