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]

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Likely_benign. The variant received -3 ACMG points.

BP4

Computational evidence support a benign effect (MetaRNN=0.0855557).

BS1

Variant frequency is greater than expected in population eas. GnomAd4 allele frequency = 0.0000525 (8/152244) while in subpopulation EAS AF = 0.000964 (5/5188). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.000379. There are 0 homozygotes in GnomAd4. There are 3 alleles in the male GnomAd4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 32. This position passed quality control check. Existence of Clinvar submissions makes me limit the strength of this signal to Supporting

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces threonine, which is neutral and polar, with methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 41 of the POLE protein (p.Thr41Met). This variant is present in population databases (rs148269473, gnomAD 0.04%). 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: 405900). 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 not expected to disrupt POLE protein function with a negative 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. -

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:no assertion criteria provided

Collection Method:clinical testing

The POLE c.122C>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Thr41Met. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature. This variant is reported in 0.035% of alleles in individuals of East Asian descent in gnomAD and it is interpreted as uncertain in ClinVar (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/405900/). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -

Ambry Genetics

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.T41M variant (also known as c.122C>T), located in coding exon 2 of the POLE gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 122. The threonine at codon 41 is replaced by methionine, an amino acid with similar properties. This amino acid position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -
