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]

Submissions by phenotype

not specified Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLaboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized MedicineNov 22, 2016The c.1107-3C>T variant in POLE has not been previously reported in individuals with colorectal cancer or in large population studies. This variant is located i n the 3' splice region. Computational tools do not suggest an impact to splicing . However, this information is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. In summary, the clinical significance of the c.1107-3C>T variant is uncertain. -
not provided Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLabcorp Genetics (formerly Invitae), LabcorpDec 29, 2023This sequence change falls in intron 11 of the POLE gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the POLE protein. It affects a nucleotide within the consensus splice site. This variant is present in population databases (rs369572563, gnomAD 0.0009%). 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: 517160). Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant is not likely to affect RNA splicing. 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 GeneticsJun 21, 2018The c.1107-3C>T intronic variant results from a C to T substitution 3 nucleotides upstream from coding exon 12 in the POLE gene. This nucleotide position is poorly conserved in available vertebrate species. Using the BDGP splice site prediction tool, this alteration is not predicted to have any significant effect on this splice acceptor site while the ESEfinder splice site prediction tool predicts a slight weakening in the native splice acceptor site efficiency; however, direct evidence is unavailable. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
