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]

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJan 22, 2024This sequence change replaces histidine, which is basic and polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 144 of the POLE protein (p.His144Arg). This variant is present in population databases (rs755709875, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with colorectal cancer (PMID: 29212164). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 405687). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae 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. -

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingLaboratory for Molecular Medicine, Mass General Brigham Personalized MedicineAug 14, 2018The p.His144Arg variant in POLE has not been previously reported in individuals with colorectal cancer but has been reported by other clinical laboratories in C linVar (Variation ID: 405687). It has also been identified in 3/30758 South Asia n chromosomes by the Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD, http://gnomad.broadins titute.org; dbSNP rs755709875). Computational prediction tools and conservation analysis suggest that the p.His144Arg variant may impact the protein, though thi s information is not predictive enough to determine pathogenicity. In summary, t he clinical significance of the p.His144Arg variant is uncertain. ACMG/AMP Crite ria applied: PP3, PM2. -

POLE-related disorder Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingPreventionGenetics, part of Exact SciencesDec 11, 2023The POLE c.431A>G variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.His144Arg. This variant was identified in an individual affected with colorectal cancer whose tumor was microsatellite stable, but the variant was classified as uncertain (Table S3, Raskin et al. 2017. PubMed ID: 29212164). This variant was also described in an individual who underwent hereditary cancer testing; however, other variants of uncertain significance in other genes were also present (Velaquez et al. 2020. PubMed ID: 32522261, Table S1). This variant is reported in 0.0098% of alleles in individuals of South Asian descent in gnomAD and is classified in ClinVar as a variant of uncertain significance (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/405687/). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsJul 01, 2015The p.H144R variant (also known as c.431A>G), located in coding exon 6 of the POLE gene, results from an A to G substitution at nucleotide position 431. The histidine at codon 144 is replaced by arginine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This variant was not reported in population based cohorts in the following databases: Database of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (dbSNP), NHLBI Exome Sequencing Project (ESP), and 1000 Genomes Project. In the ESP, this variant was not observed in 6503 samples (13006 alleles) with coverage at this position. This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be deleterious by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of p.H144R remains unclear. -
