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]

Benign, criteria provided, single submitter	clinical testing	Women's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorp	Aug 31, 2023	Variant summary: POLE c.6331-8C>T alters a conserved nucleotide located close to a canonical splice site and therefore could affect mRNA splicing, leading to a significantly altered protein sequence. Consensus agreement among computation tools predict no significant impact on normal splicing. However, these predictions have yet to be confirmed by functional studies. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0001 in 248548 control chromosomes. The observed variant frequency is approximately 7.081 fold of the estimated maximal expected allele frequency for a pathogenic variant in POLE causing Colorectal Cancer phenotype (1.4e-05), strongly suggesting that the variant is benign. c.6331-8C>T has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with breast cancer (e.g. Guindalini_2022) and unspecified cancer (e.g. Bonache_2018). However, these reports do not provide unequivocal conclusions about association of the variant with Colorectal Cancer, and the authors classified the variants as uncertain significance. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. The following publications have been ascertained in the context of this evaluation (PMID: 30306255, 35264596). Six submitters have cited clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014. All submitters classified the variant as benign/likely benign. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as benign. -
