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]

Not observed at a significant frequency in large population cohorts (Lek 2016); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; Has not been previously published as a pathogenic or benign germline variant to our knowledge; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 31829442, 29625053, 29056344, 28481359) -

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 705 of the POLE protein (p.Arg705Trp). The frequency data for this variant in the population databases is considered unreliable, as metrics indicate poor data quality at this position in the gnomAD database. 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: 540760). 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 expected to disrupt POLE protein function with a positive 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:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.R705W variant (also known as c.2113C>T), located in coding exon 19 of the POLE gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 2113. The arginine at codon 705 is replaced by tryptophan, an amino acid with dissimilar properties. This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -
