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]

Benign, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpMay 19, 2016Variant summary: The POLE c.4552-10G>T variant involves the alteration of a non-conserved intronic nucleotide. One in silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant, and 3/5 Alamut algorithms predict no significant change to splicing. This variant was found in 676/99708 control chromosomes (13 homozygotes) at a frequency of 0.0067798, which is approximately 477 times the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic POLE variant (0.0000142), highly suggesting this variant is a benign polymorphism. The variant of interest has not, to our knowledge, been reported in affected individuals via publications and/or reputable databases/clinical diagnostic laboratories; nor evaluated for functional impact by in vivo/vitro studies. Taken together, this variant is classified as Benign. -

Malignant tumor of breast Benign:1
Benign, no assertion criteria providedclinical testingDepartment of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Sinai Health System-The POLE c.4552-10G>T variant was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs5744946) “With Benign, Likely benign allele”, and ClinVar (classified benign by GeneDx, Invitae and 4 other laboratories). The variant was identified in control databases in 1652 (41 homozygous) of 244502 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.007 increasing the likelihood this could be a low frequency benign variant (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). The variant was observed in the following populations: African in 1355 (40 homozygous) of 22986 chromosomes (freq: 0.06), Other in 29 of 5608 chromosomes (freq: 0.005), Latino in 118 (1 homozygous) of 27424 chromosomes (freq: 0.004), European Non-Finnish in 59 of 113062 chromosomes (freq: 0.0005), Ashkenazi Jewish in 81 of 8140 chromosomes (freq: 0.01), and South Asian in 10 of 25926 chromosomes (freq: 0.0004) while not observed in the Eas Asian and European Finnish populations. 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 GeneticsMay 19, 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. -
