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]

Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxAug 16, 2022Canonical splice site variant predicted to result in a null allele in a gene for which loss of function is a known mechanism of disease; Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 34502317, 30503519) -
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeDec 26, 2023This variant results in the deletion of part of exon 26 (c.3264_3275+13del) of the POLE gene. RNA analysis indicates that this variant induces altered splicing and may result in an absent or disrupted protein product. This variant is present in population databases (rs761516512, gnomAD 0.01%). 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: 473580). Studies have shown that this variant results in activation of a cryptic splice site and introduces a premature termination codon (Invitae). The resulting mRNA is expected to undergo nonsense-mediated decay. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsOct 16, 2019The c.3264_3275+13del25 variant spans the boundary of coding exon 26 and intron 26 in the POLE gene. This variant results from a deletion of 25 nucleotides at positions c.3264 to c.3275+13. These nucleotide positions are well conserved in available vertebrate species. Using the BDGP and ESEfinder splice site prediction tools, this alteration is predicted to abolish the native splice donor site and create a new alternate splice donor site; however, direct evidence is unavailable. This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. However, loss of function via haploinsufficiency in POLE has not been clearly established as a mechanism of disease. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
