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]

Carcinoma of colon Benign:1
Benign, no assertion criteria providedclinical testingDepartment of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Sinai Health System-The POLE p.Asp490= variant was identified in the literature as a polymorphism in 8 of 544 endometrial tumours (Billingsley 2015). The variant was also identified in dbSNP (ID: rs5744777) as “With Likely benign allele” and in ClinVar (classified benign by Invitae, Ambry Genetics, Counsyl, Prevention Genetics and Quest Diagnostics Nichols Institute San Juan Capistrano; and likely benign by GeneDx). The variant was identified in control databases in 596 (5 homozygous) of 277152 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.002 increasing the likelihood this could be a low frequency benign variant (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). Tche variant was observed in the following populations: African in 511 of 24034 chromosomes (freq: 0.02), Other in 2 of 6466 chromosomes (freq: 0.0003), Latino in 37 of 34420 chromosomes (freq: 0.001), European Non-Finnish in 43 of 126646 chromosomes (freq: 0.0003), and South Asian in 3 of 30782 chromosomes (freq: 0.0001) while not observed in the Ashkenazi Jewish, East Asian and Finnish populations. The p.Asp490= variant is not expected to have clinical significance because it does not result in a change of amino acid and is not located in a known consensus splice site. The variant occurs 4 nucleotides from the end of exon 14 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 this variant meets our laboratory's criteria to be classified as benign. -
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Benign:1
Benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsJun 01, 2015This alteration is classified as 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. -
