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]

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

This sequence change replaces histidine, which is basic and polar, with tyrosine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 422 of the POLE protein (p.His422Tyr). This variant is present in population databases (rs745356467, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with endometrial cancer (PMID: 26763250). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 240384). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt POLE protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The p.H422Y variant (also known as c.1264C>T), located in coding exon 13 of the POLE gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 1264. The histidine at codon 422 is replaced by tyrosine, an amino acid with similar properties. This alteration has been identified in an individual with endometrial cancer (McConechy M et al. Clin. Cancer Res. 2016 06;22(12):2865-73). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -
