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 testingInvitaeJan 10, 2024This sequence change replaces aspartic acid, which is acidic and polar, with asparagine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 185 of the POLE protein (p.Asp185Asn). This variant is present in population databases (rs369506007, gnomAD 0.02%). 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: 240565). 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 testingGeneDxOct 24, 2017This variant is denoted POLE c.553G>A at the cDNA level, p.Asp185Asn (D185N) at the protein level, and results in the change of an Aspartic Acid to an Asparagine (GAC>AAC). This variant has not, to our knowledge, been published in the literature as pathogenic or benign. POLE Asp185Asn was not observed at a significant allele frequency in large population cohorts (Lek 2016). Since Aspartic Acid and Asparagine differ in some properties, this is considered a semi-conservative amino acid substitution. POLE Asp185Asn occurs at a position that is not conserved and is not located in a known functional domain. In silico analyses are inconsistent regarding the effect this variant may have on protein structure and function. Based on currently available evidence, it is unclear whether POLE Asp185Asn is a pathogenic or benign variant. We consider it to be a variant of uncertain significance. -

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsFeb 05, 2023The p.D185N variant (also known as c.553G>A), located in coding exon 6 of the POLE gene, results from a G to A substitution at nucleotide position 553. The aspartic acid at codon 185 is replaced by asparagine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This amino acid position is conserved. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
