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]

Submissions by phenotype

not provided Pathogenic:1
Pathogenic, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeDec 29, 2023This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Cys501*) 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 (rs762636894, gnomAD 0.004%). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with lung adenocarcinoma (PMID: 29625052). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 540762). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsApr 10, 2020The c.1503_1504delTG variant, located in coding exon 15 of the POLE gene, results from a deletion of two nucleotides at nucleotide positions 1503 to 1504, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.C501*). This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. However, loss of function of 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. -
