Variant summary
Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 1 ACMG points: 1P and 0B. PP3
The NM_006231.4(POLE):c.926A>G(p.Asn309Ser) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000136 in 1,613,194 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. N309K) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

The POLE c.926A>G (p.Asn309Ser) variant has been reported in the published literature in an individual considered high risk of breast and/or ovarian cancer (PMID: 38874686 (2024)). The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.0000071 (2/281964 chromosomes (Genome Aggregation Database, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org)), is uninformative in the assessment of its pathogenicity. Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded predictions that this variant is damaging. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -
This sequence change replaces asparagine, which is neutral and polar, with serine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 309 of the POLE protein (p.Asn309Ser). This variant is present in population databases (rs767060387, gnomAD 0.008%). 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: 405777). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt POLE protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. RNA analysis performed to evaluate the impact of this missense change on mRNA splicing indicates it does not significantly alter splicing (internal data). 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. -
Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; In silico analysis supports a deleterious effect on splicing; Has not been previously published as pathogenic or benign to our knowledge; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 20951805) -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:2
The p.N309S variant (also known as c.926A>G), located in coding exon 10 of the POLE gene, results from an A to G substitution at nucleotide position 926. The asparagine at codon 309 is replaced by serine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, this alteration is predicted to be tolerated by in silico analysis. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -
