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]

Likely pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Blueprint Genetics	Dec 28, 2018	- -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	GeneDx	May 12, 2016	This variant is denoted POLE c.3373C>T at the cDNA level and p.Arg1125Ter (R1125X) at the protein level. The substitution creates a nonsense variant, which changes an Arginine to a premature stop codon (CGA>TGA), and is predicted to cause loss of normal protein function through either protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. While some missense variants in POLE have been recognized as an underlying cause of Polymerase Proofreading-Associated Polyposis (PPAP), there are no data at this time to support that loss-of-function variants confer the same cancer risks. We therefore consider POLE Arg1125Ter to be a variant of uncertain significance with respect to cancer.To date, the majority of publications regarding POLE and colorectal cancer risk are confined to missense variants within the exonuclease domain (Palles 2013, Spier 2015). However, a splice variant and a frameshift variant have been reported. Pachlopnik Schmid et al. (2012) observed a splice variant at the +3 position in intron 34, in the homozygous state, in 11 family members with facial dysmorphism, immunodeficiency, livedo, and short stature (FILS) from a large consanguineous family; however, they noted that all heterozygous carriers were asymptomatic and did not have a history of cancer. While Smith et al. (2013) identified a POLE frameshift variant in a 26 year old with a history of colorectal cancer, no family history was provided and segregation analysis was not completed. As described above, facial dysmorphism, immunodeficiency, livedo, and short stature (FILS) appears to be a rare autosomal recessive condition associated with two loss-of-function variants in POLE (Pachlopnik Schmid 2012). For individuals and family members of reproductive age, assessment of the reproductive risk associated with being a carrier of a loss of function POLE variant may be considered. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Revvity Omics, Revvity	Apr 29, 2021	- -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Labcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), Labcorp	May 16, 2023	For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 421197). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with POLE-related conditions. This variant is present in population databases (rs139603739, gnomAD 0.007%). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg1125*) in the POLE gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in POLE are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 23230001, 25948378, 30503519). -

Dec 28, 2017

The p.R1125* variant (also known as c.3373C>T), located in coding exon 27 of the POLE gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 3373. This changes the amino acid from an arginine to a stop codon within coding exon 27. This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. However, loss of function of POLE has not been clearly established as a mechanism of disease. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
