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]

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The POLE c.6531+6G>T intronic change results in a G to T substitution at the +6 position of intron 46 of the POLE gene. Algorithms that predict the impact of sequence changes on splicing are not conclusive as to whether or not th is variant affects splicing and loss of function of the resulting protein product. This variant has a maximum subpopulation frequency of 0.020% in gnomAD v2.1.1 (https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with POLE-associated 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. -
