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

Verdict is Uncertain_significance. Variant got 3 ACMG points.

• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PM4: Nonframeshift variant in NON repetitive region in NM_006231.4. Strenght limited to Supporting due to length of the change: 1aa.

Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. Experimental studies and prediction algorithms are not available or were not evaluated, and the functional significance of this variant is currently unknown. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 486093). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with POLE-related conditions. This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This variant, c.5016_5018del, results in the deletion of 1 amino acid(s) of the POLE protein (p.Phe1673del), but otherwise preserves the integrity of the reading frame. 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.5016_5018delCTT variant (also known as p.F1673DEL) is located in coding exon 38 of the POLE gene. This variant results from an in-frame deletion of 3 nucleotides at positions 5016 to 5018 and causes the removal of a well-conserved phenylalanine residue at codon 1673. This variant was not reported in population based cohorts in the following databases: Database of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (dbSNP), NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project (ESP), and 1000 Genomes Project. In the ESP, this variant was not observed in 6503 samples (13006 alleles) with coverage at this position.To date, this alteration has been detected with an allele frequency of approximately 0.004% (greater than 25000 alleles tested) in our clinical cohort. This amino acid position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of c.5016_5018delCTT remains unclear. -
