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]

Likely benign, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	GeneDx	Jan 18, 2018	This variant is considered likely benign or benign based on one or more of the following criteria: it is a conservative change, it occurs at a poorly conserved position in the protein, it is predicted to be benign by multiple in silico algorithms, and/or has population frequency not consistent with disease. -
Benign, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	Aug 27, 2018	Variant summary: POLE c.6817A>T (p.Thr2273Ser) results in a conservative amino acid change in the encoded protein sequence. Four of five in-silico tools predict a benign effect of the variant on protein function. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0015 in 276634 control chromosomes, predominantly at a frequency of 0.016 within the African subpopulation in the gnomAD database, including 5 homozygotes. The observed variant frequency within African control individuals in the gnomAD database is approximately 1126 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 origin. To our knowledge, no occurrence of c.6817A>T in individuals affected with Colorectal Cancer and no experimental evidence demonstrating its impact on protein function have been reported. Six clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as benign/likely benign. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as benign. -

The POLE p.Thr2273Ser variant was not identified in the literature. The variant was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs73481453) as â€šÃ„ÃºWith other alleleâ€šÃ„Ã¹ and ClinVar (classified as benign by Invitae, Ambry Genetics and 4 other submitters; and as likely benign by GeneDx and 1 other submitter). The variant was identified in control databases in 424 (5 homozygous) of 276634 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.002, 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 385 (5 homozygous) of 23998 chromosomes (freq: 0.02), Other in 5 of 6450 chromosomes (freq: 0.0008), Latino in 28 of 34420 chromosomes (freq: 0.0008), European Non-Finnish in 5 of 126184 chromosomes (freq: 0.00004), and South Asian in 1 of 30782 chromosomes (freq: 0.00003); it was not observed in the Ashkenazi Jewish, East Asian, or European Finnish populations. The p.Thr2273Ser residue is not conserved in mammals and four out of five computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) do not suggest a high likelihood the variant Ser impacts the protein; however, this information is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and 1 of 4 in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer) predict a greater than 10% difference in splicing; this is not very predictive of pathogenicity. In summary, based on the above information, this variant meets our laboratory's criteria to be classified as benign. -
