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]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Invitae	Nov 29, 2023	This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg1371*) 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). This variant is present in population databases (rs151278283, gnomAD 0.01%). 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: 371979). Studies have shown that this premature translational stop signal is associated with inconclusive levels of altered splicing (Invitae). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

The p.R1371* variant (also known as c.4111C>T), located in coding exon 32 of the POLE gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 4111. This changes the amino acid from an arginine to a stop codon within coding exon 32. This amino acid position is not well conserved in available vertebrate species. 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. -
