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

Colorectal cancer, susceptibility to, 12 Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingKCCC/NGS Laboratory, Kuwait Cancer Control CenterJul 07, 2023This sequence change replaces arginine with cysteine at codon 2225 of the POLE protein (p.Arg2225Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs765125852, ExAC 0.01%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with POLE-related disease. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 405833). Insilico predictions show benign computational verdict based on 9 benign predictions from BayesDel_addAF, EIGEN, FATHMM-MKL, LIST-S2, M-CAP, MVP, MutationAssessor, MutationTaster and PrimateAI vs 4 pathogenic predictions from DANN, DEOGEN2, PolyPhen, and SIFT and the position is not highly conserved. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
not provided Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJan 28, 2024This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with cysteine, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 2225 of the POLE protein (p.Arg2225Cys). This variant is present in population databases (rs765125852, gnomAD 0.007%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with papillary thyroid cancer (PMID: 33821390). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 405833). 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 not expected to disrupt POLE protein function with a negative 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. -
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsJul 18, 2021The p.R2225C variant (also known as c.6673C>T), located in coding exon 48 of the POLE gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 6673. The arginine at codon 2225 is replaced by cysteine, an amino acid with highly dissimilar properties. This amino acid position is conserved. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
