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]

Colorectal cancer, susceptibility to, 12 Uncertain:2
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingKCCC/NGS Laboratory, Kuwait Cancer Control CenterJul 07, 2023A variant of uncertain significance was detected at POLE gene (c.6445C>T). This sequence change replaces arginine with cysteine at codon 2149 of the POLE protein (p.Arg2149Cys). The arginine residue is weakly conserved and there is a large physicochemical difference between arginine and cysteine. This variant is present in population databases (rs771490182, ExAC 0.07%), and has an allele count higher than expected for a pathogenic variant (PMID: 28166811). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with POLE-related disease. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 405704). In-silico predictions show benign computational verdict based on 8 benign predictions from BayesDel_addAF, DEOGEN2, EIGEN, M-CAP, MVP, MutationAssessor, PrimateAI and SIFT vs 4 pathogenic predictions from DANN, FATHMM-MKL, LIST-S2 and MutationTaster but these predictions have not been confirmed by published functional studies and their clinical significance is uncertain. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingSt. Jude Molecular Pathology, St. Jude Children's Research HospitalOct 03, 2022The POLE c.6445C>T (p.Arg2149Cys) missense change has a maximum subpopulation frequency of 0.059% in gnomAD v2.1.1 (https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). The in silico tool REVEL predicts a benign effect on protein function, but to our knowledge this prediction has not been confirmed by functional studies. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with POLE-related disease. In summary, the evidence currently available is insufficient to determine the clinical significance of this variant. It has therefore been classified as of uncertain significance. -

Polymerase proofreading-related adenomatous polyposis Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingFoundation for Research in Genetics and Endocrinology, FRIGE's Institute of Human Genetics-A heterozygous missense variation in exon 46 of the POLE gene that results in the amino acid substitution of Cystine for Arginine at codon 2149 was detected. The observed variant c.6445C>T (p.Arg2149Cys) not been reported in 1000 genomes and has MAF of 0.01% in gnomAD databases. The in silico prediction of the variant is disease causing by MutationTaster2 and CADD. The reference codon is conserved across species. In summary, the variant meets our criteria to be classified as a variant of uncertain significance. -
