Variant summary

Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. The variant received 9 ACMG points: 9P and 0B. PVS1 PP5

The NM_006231.4(POLE):​c.6236_6254delACTCCACTGAGCTCTCAGA​(p.Asn2079ArgfsTer38) variant causes a frameshift change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000137 in 1,461,782 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. It is difficult to determine the true allele frequency of this variant because it is of type DEL_BIG, and the frequency of such variant types in population databases may be underestimated and unreliable. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. N2079N) has been classified as Likely benign. Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.

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]
