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 testingARUP Laboratories, Molecular Genetics and Genomics, ARUP LaboratoriesJun 28, 2023The POLE c.1138G>T; p.Gly380Cys variant (rs199746481) is reported in the literature in individuals affected with breast cancer, ovarian cancer, and polyposis (Mur 2020, Song 2021), as well as in controls (Song 2021). This variant is reported in ClinVar (Variation ID: 240378) and is found in the general population with an overall allele frequency of 0.0028% (8/282,780 alleles) in the Genome Aggregation Database. Computational analyses are uncertain whether this variant is neutral or deleterious (REVEL: 0.531). However, functional analyses in a yeast-based exonuclease repair assay demonstrate increased mutation rate (Mur 2020). Due to limited information, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain at this time. References: Mur P et al. Role of POLE and POLD1 in familial cancer. Genet Med. 2020 Dec;22(12):2089-2100. PMID: 32792570. Song H et al. Population-based targeted sequencing of 54 candidate genes identifies PALB2 as a susceptibility gene for high-grade serous ovarian cancer. J Med Genet. 2021 May;58(5):305-313. PMID: 32546565. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingQuest Diagnostics Nichols Institute San Juan CapistranoNov 11, 2022The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.000046 (6/129122 chromosomes, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), is uninformative in assessment of its pathogenicity. In the published literature, the variant has been reported in individuals with breast cancer and polyps (PMID: 32792570 (2020)). A yeast based functional assay has shown that this variant may have a deleterious impact on POLE function (PMID: 32792570 (2020)). However, further studies are needed to validate this finding. Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded predictions that this variant is damaging. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxApr 16, 2024In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; Published functional studies demonstrated a damaging effect: increased mutation rate and intermediate revertant colonies in a yeast-based exonuclease repair activity assay (PMID: 32792570); Observed in individuals with breast cancer, polyps, and ovarian cancer, but also in unaffected controls (PMID: 32792570, 32546565); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 32792570, 32546565, 20951805) -

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingBaylor GeneticsJan 19, 2024- -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpOct 09, 2022This sequence change replaces glycine, which is neutral and non-polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 380 of the POLE protein (p.Gly380Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs199746481, gnomAD 0.008%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with polyps (PMID: 32792570). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 240378). 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 expected to disrupt POLE protein function. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects POLE function (PMID: 32792570). 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. -
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsSep 09, 2022The p.G380C variant (also known as c.1138G>T), located in coding exon 12 of the POLE gene, results from a G to T substitution at nucleotide position 1138. The glycine at codon 380 is replaced by cysteine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. This variant was identified once in a cohort of ovarian cancer cases, but was also identified in three control individuals (Song H et al. J Med Genet, 2021 05;58:305-313). In another study, this variant was identified in 2/2813 unrelated individuals undergoing multigene panel testing for hereditary cancer and one was diagnosed with breast cancer (x2) at age 61 while the other was diagnosed with 10-20 polyps at age 72 (Mur P et al. Genet Med, 2020 12;22:2089-2100). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
