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]

To our knowledge, this sequence variant has not been previously reported in the literature. The POLE c.725A>G variant has an overall allele frequency of 0.000004 in the gnomAD database (Genome Aggregation Database; gnomad.broadinstitute.org). This variant is in the exonuclease domain of the protein where other pathogenic sequence variants have been found. In silico analyses indicate this is an evolutionarily conserved residue. Thus, it is unknown at this time whether this variant increases cancer risk. -

This sequence change replaces histidine, which is basic and polar, with arginine, which is basic and polar, at codon 242 of the POLE protein (p.His242Arg). This variant is present in population databases (rs767612904, gnomAD 0.006%). 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: 405799). 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. -

The p.H242R variant (also known as c.725A>G), located in coding exon 8 of the POLE gene, results from an A to G substitution at nucleotide position 725. The histidine at codon 242 is replaced by arginine, an amino acid with highly similar properties. This amino acid position is conserved. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
