The ENST00000320574.10(POLE):ā€‹c.6751T>Cā€‹(p.Phe2251Leu) variant causes a missense change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000249 in 1,609,596 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 12/21 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another nucleotide change resulting in same amino acid change has been previously reported as Uncertain significancein ClinVar. Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. F2251F) has been classified as Likely benign.

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, no assertion criteria providedclinical testingDepartment of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Sinai Health System-The POLE p.Phe2251Leu variant was not identified in the literature nor was it identified in Cosmic. The variant was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs373768478), LOVD 3.0 and in ClinVar (classified as a VUS for Colorectal cancer, susceptibility to, 12 by Invitae). The variant was also identified in control databases in 12 of 281748 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.000043 (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). The variant was observed in the following populations: African in 11 of 24946 chromosomes (freq: 0.000441) and Latino in 1 of 35376 chromosomes (freq: 0.000028), while the variant was not observed in the Ashkenazi Jewish, East Asian, European (Finnish), European (non-Finnish), Other, and South Asian populations. The p.Phe2251 residue is conserved in mammals but not in more distantly related organisms however four out of five computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM) do not suggest a high likelihood of impact to the protein; this information is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer) do not predict a difference in splicing. In summary, based on the above information the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time. This variant is classified as a variant of uncertain significance. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxFeb 25, 2024In silico analysis supports that this missense variant does not alter protein structure/function; Observed in individuals with cervical, breast, and/or thyroid cancer (PMID: 35534704, 32098697); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 32098697, 36315513, 35534704) -
Colorectal cancer, susceptibility to, 12 Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingSt. Jude Molecular Pathology, St. Jude Children's Research HospitalJul 11, 2023The POLE c.6751T>C (p.Phe2251Leu) missense change has a maximum subpopulation frequency of 0.044% in gnomAD v2.1.1 (https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). The in silico tool REVEL predicts a benign effect on protein function, but to our knowledge this prediction has not been confirmed by functional studies. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with POLE-related disease. In summary, the evidence currently available is insufficient to determine the clinical significance of this variant. It has therefore been classified as of uncertain significance. -
POLE-related disorder Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, no assertion criteria providedclinical testingPreventionGenetics, part of Exact SciencesMar 13, 2024The POLE c.6751T>C variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Phe2251Leu. This variant along with the POLE c.1597G>A (p.Val533Met), as well as pathogenic variants in PIK3CA and PTEN genes was found in dysplastic and invasive tumor components obtained from a cervical cancer specimen (Table 1, Vormittag-Nocito et al. 2020. PubMed ID: 32098697). Additional variants in other genes were also identified in both tumor components. This variant is reported in 0.044% of alleles in individuals of African descent in gnomADa and is interpreted has conflicting interpretations of likely benign and uncertain in ClinVar (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/405677/). Although we suspect that this variant may be benign, at this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
