Variant summary
Our verdict is Likely pathogenic. The variant received 9 ACMG points: 9P and 0B. PVS1PP5
The NM_006231.4(POLE):c.745C>T(p.Arg249*) variant causes a stop gained change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00000991 in 1,613,814 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 Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Synonymous variant affecting the same amino acid position (i.e. R249R) has been classified as Likely benign. Variant results in nonsense mediated mRNA decay.

Submissions by phenotype
not provided Pathogenic:1
This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg249*) 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 (rs769190256, gnomAD 0.003%). 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: 566551). RNA analysis performed to evaluate the impact of this premature translational stop signal on mRNA splicing indicates it does not significantly alter splicing (internal data). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:1
The p.R249* variant (also known as c.745C>T), located in coding exon 8 of the POLE gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 745. This changes the amino acid from an arginine to a stop codon within coding exon 8. This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Although biallelic loss of function of POLE has been associated with autosomal recessive POLE deficiency, haploinsufficiency of POLE has not been established as a mechanism of disease for POLE-related polymerase proofreading-associated polyposis (PPAP) and POLE-related CMMRD-like syndrome. Based on the supporting evidence, this variant is expected to be causative of POLE deficiency when present along with a second pathogenic variant on the other allele; however, its clinical significance for PPAP and POLE-related CMMRD-like syndrome is unclear. -
