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]

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingQuest Diagnostics Nichols Institute San Juan CapistranoDec 10, 2019- -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJan 10, 2024This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 1077 of the POLE protein (p.Arg1077Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs149777592, gnomAD 0.02%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with colorectal cancer (PMID: 29212164). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 405597). 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 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. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxJul 25, 2023In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; Observed in individuals with colorectal and other cancers (Zhang et al., 2015; Mandelker et al., 2017; Raskin et al., 2017); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 26580448, 25194279, 28166811, 28873162, 29212164, 29338072) -
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsJun 19, 2015The p.R1077C variant (also known as c.3229C>T), located in coding exon 26 of the POLE gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 3229. The arginine at codon 1077 is replaced by cysteine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. This variant was previously reported in the SNPDatabase as rs149777592. Based on data from the NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project (ESP), the T allele has an overall frequency of approximately 0.02% (2/13006) total alleles studied and 0.02% (2/8600) European American alleles. This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. -
