The NM_006231.4(POLE):c.5912A>G(p.Asn1971Ser) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.0000211 in 1,614,090 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, including 1 homozygotes. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 15/21 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity (no stars). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. N1971K) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

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]

Submissions by phenotype

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxJan 11, 2018Not observed at a significant frequency in large population cohorts (Lek 2016); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant does not alter protein structure/function; Observed in the compound heterozygous state with POLE p.Glu1956Val in an individual reportedly presenting with a FILS-like (facial dysmorphism, immunodeficiency, livedo, and short stature) phenotype (Mestek-Boukhibar 2018). While POLE c.4444+3A>G, a leaky splice variant, has been reported as homozygous in individuals with FILS (Pachlopnik Schmid 2012, Thiffault 2015), it is not clear whether biallelic POLE missense variants result in a similar phenotype.; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 30049826) -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJul 21, 2023In 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. 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. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 439278). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with FILS (facial dysmorphism, immunodeficiency, livedo, and short stature) syndrome (PMID: 30049826). This variant is present in population databases (rs772127913, gnomAD 0.02%). This sequence change replaces asparagine, which is neutral and polar, with serine, which is neutral and polar, at codon 1971 of the POLE protein (p.Asn1971Ser). -
