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

Verdict is Benign. Variant got -21 ACMG points.

• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.5).
• BP6: Variant 12-132668423-C-A is Benign according to our data. Variant chr12-132668423-C-A is described in ClinVar as [Likely_benign]. Clinvar id is 240425.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars.
• BP7: Synonymous conserved (PhyloP=-0.248 with no splicing effect.
• BS1: Variant frequency is greater than expected in population afr. gnomad4 allele frequency = 0.00182 (277/152334) while in subpopulation AFR AF= 0.00642 (267/41584). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.00579. There are 2 homozygotes in gnomad4. There are 124 alleles in male gnomad4 subpopulation. This position pass quality control queck.

Benign, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	Apr 25, 2019	Variant summary: POLE c.2106G>T alters a non-conserved nucleotide resulting in a synonymous change. 4/5 computational tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00055 in 250120 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.0074 within the African or African-American subpopulation in the gnomAD database, including 1 homozygote. The observed variant frequency within African or African-American control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 521 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in POLE causing Colorectal Cancer phenotype (1.4e-05), strongly suggesting that the variant is a benign polymorphism found primarily in populations of African or African-American origin. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.2106G>T in individuals affected with Colorectal Cancer and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. Six submitters have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as benign (2x) /likely benign (4x). Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as benign. -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Benign:2

Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Ambry Genetics	Aug 12, 2015	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. -
