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]

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Val2025*) 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 (rs754630848, gnomAD 0.007%). 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: 540651). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

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

The c.6072delC variant, located in coding exon 44 of the POLE gene, results from a deletion of one nucleotide at nucleotide position 6072, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.V2025*). This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Although biallelic loss of function of POLE has been associated with autosomal recessive POLE deficiency, haploinsufficiency of POLE has not been established as a mechanism of disease for POLE-related polymerase proofreading-associated polyposis (PPAP) and POLE-related CMMRD-like syndrome. Based on the supporting evidence, this variant is expected to be causative of POLE deficiency when present along with a second pathogenic variant on the other allele; however, its clinical significance for PPAP and POLE-related CMMRD-like syndrome is unclear. -
