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]

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 924 of the POLE protein (p.Arg924Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs369751686, gnomAD 0.004%). 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: 405595). 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. -

Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; Reported in an individual with small bowel cancer whose tumor was microsatellite unstable and demonstrated loss of MSH2 and MSH6 expression, but also harbored two somatic MSH2 missense variants (PMID: 29987844); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 25801821, 36497424, 29987844, 20951805, 34326862) -

The p.R924C variant (also known as c.2770C>T), located in coding exon 24 of the POLE gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 2770. The arginine at codon 924 is replaced by cysteine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. This amino acid position is well conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -
