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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Uncertain_significance. Variant got 2 ACMG points.

• PM4: Nonframeshift variant in NON repetitive region in NM_006231.4.

Collection Method: clinical testing

This variant, c.3858_3881del, results in the deletion of 8 amino acid(s) of the POLE protein (p.Ala1288_Leu1295del), but otherwise preserves the integrity of the reading frame. This variant is present in population databases (rs759449495, gnomAD 0.0009%). 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: 422681). Experimental studies and prediction algorithms are not available or were not evaluated, and the functional significance of this variant is currently unknown. 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. -

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The c.3858_3881del24 variant (also known as p.A1288_L1295del) is located in coding exon 31 of the POLE gene. This variant results from an in-frame deletion of 24 nucleotides at positions 1288 to 1295. This results in the deletion of 8 amino acids between codons 3858 and 3881. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
