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]

ACMG classification

Classification was made for transcript

Our verdict: Benign. The variant received -19 ACMG points.

BP4
Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.39).
BP6
Variant 12-132639199-C-A is Benign according to our data. Variant chr12-132639199-C-A is described in ClinVar as Benign/Likely_benign. ClinVar VariationId is 240558.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
BP7
Synonymous conserved (PhyloP=1.77 with no splicing effect.
BS1
Variant frequency is greater than expected in population sas. GnomAd4 allele frequency = 0.000269 (41/152194) while in subpopulation SAS AF = 0.00789 (38/4816). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.00591. There are 0 homozygotes in GnomAd4. There are 31 alleles in the male GnomAd4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 32. This position passed quality control check.
BS2

Significance:Likely benign
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

This alteration is classified as likely benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -
