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]

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:2
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsMar 25, 2021The p.L424F variant (also known as c.1270C>T), located in coding exon 13 of the POLE gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 1270. The leucine at codon 424 is replaced by phenylalanine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. A different amino acid substitution at this codon (p.L424V) has been shown to segregate with disease in numerous colorectal cancer and polyposis families and to have a deleterious impact on the exonuclease function of the POLE protein (Spier I et al. Int. J. Cancer. 2015 Jul;137(2):320-31; Palles C et al. Nat. Genet. 2013 Feb; 45(2):136-44. Valle L et al. Hum. Mol. Genet. 2014 Jul; 23(13):3506-12. Elsayed FA et al. Eur. J. Hum. Genet. 2015 Aug; 23(8):1080-4). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingColor Diagnostics, LLC DBA Color HealthAug 30, 2022This missense variant replaces leucine with phenylalanine at codon 424 of the POLE protein. Computational prediction is inconclusive regarding the impact of this variant on protein structure and function (internally defined REVEL score threshold 0.5 < inconclusive < 0.7, PMID: 27666373). To our knowledge, functional studies have not been reported for this variant. This variant has been reported in an individual with colorectal cancer whose tumor showed microsatellite stability (PMID: 25124163). This variant has been identified in 4/251340 chromosomes in the general population by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD). The available evidence is insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease conclusively. Therefore, this variant is classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeOct 25, 2023This sequence change replaces leucine, which is neutral and non-polar, with phenylalanine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 424 of the POLE protein (p.Leu424Phe). This variant is present in population databases (rs483352909, gnomAD 0.01%). 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: 818751). 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 expected to disrupt POLE protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. This variant disrupts the p.Leu424 amino acid residue in POLE. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 23263490, 23447401, 24501277, 25370038, 25529843, 27683556). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. 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. -
