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 creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg1320*) in the POLE gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in POLE are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 23230001, 25948378, 30503519). This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.003%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with POLE-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 405882). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

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

The p.R1320* variant (also known as c.3958C>T), located in coding exon 31 of the POLE gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 3958. This changes the amino acid from an arginine to a stop codon within coding exon 31. This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Loss-of-function variants subject to nonsense mediated decay (NMD) in POLE are known to cause POLE deficiency; however, such associations with POLE-related polymerase proofreading-associated polyposis (PPAP) have not been reported. Based on the supporting evidence, this alteration is pathogenic for POLE deficiency; however, the association of this alteration with POLE-related PPAP is unknown. -
