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]

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGeneDxJul 26, 2018This deletion of two nucleotides in POLE is denoted c.6518_6519delCT at the cDNA level and p.Ser2173PhefsX130 (S2173FfsX130) at the protein level. The normal sequence, with the bases that are deleted in braces, is GACT[CT]TCCT. The deletion causes a frameshift which changes a Serine to a Phenylalanine at codon 2173 in exon 46 of the POLE gene, and results in an extension of the protein. The last 114 amino acids are replaced by 129 incorrect amino acids, disrupting a region that contains the Zinc finger domain (Tahirov 2009). Since the clinical significance of this extension is unclear, we consider c.6518_6519delCT to be a variant of uncertain significance. -

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJan 10, 2024This sequence change results in a frameshift in the POLE gene (p.Ser2173Phefs*130). While this is not anticipated to result in nonsense mediated decay, it is expected to disrupt the last 114 amino acid(s) of the POLE protein and extend the protein by 15 additional amino acid residues. This variant is present in population databases (rs774417192, gnomAD 0.009%). This frameshift has been observed in individual(s) with clinical features of FILS syndrome (PMID: 30503519). In at least one individual the data is consistent with being in trans (on the opposite chromosome) from a pathogenic variant. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 405609). Experimental studies and prediction algorithms are not available or were not evaluated, and the functional significance of this variant is currently unknown. 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. -

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingWomen's Health and Genetics/Laboratory Corporation of America, LabCorpDec 02, 2022Variant summary: POLE c.6518_6519delCT (p.Ser2173PhefsX130) causes a frameshift which is expected to disrupt the last 114 amino acids and result in an extension of the protein. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 3.5e-05 in 230954 control chromosomes. The available data on variant occurrences in the general population are insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. c.6518_6519delCT has been reported in the literature in individuals affected with Intrauterine Growth Retardation, Metaphyseal Dysplasia, Adrenal Hypoplasia Congenita, Genital Anomalies, And Immunodeficiency( Logan_2018). This supporting data is currently insufficient to allow any conclusion about variant significance. To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. Five clinical diagnostic laboratories have submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation. All laboratories classified the variant as uncertain significance. Based on the evidence outlined above, the variant was classified as uncertain significance. -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsJan 22, 2019The c.6518_6519delCT variant, located in coding exon 46 of the POLE gene, results from a deletion of two nucleotides at nucleotide positions 6518 to 6519, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.S2173Ffs*130). This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation. However, loss of function of POLE has not been clearly established as a mechanism of disease. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
