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]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Likely_pathogenic. Variant got 9 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PP5: Variant 12-132679627-G-A is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr12-132679627-G-A is described in ClinVar as [Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity]. Clinvar id is 473667.We mark this variant Likely_pathogenic, oryginal submissions are: {Uncertain_significance=2, Pathogenic=1}.

For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 473667). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with POLE-related conditions. This variant is present in population databases (rs775815329, gnomAD 0.006%). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Arg150*) in the POLE gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in POLE are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 23230001, 25948378, 30503519). -

The p.R150* variant (also known as c.448C>T), located in coding exon 6 of the POLE gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 448. This changes the amino acid from an arginine to a stop codon within coding exon 6. This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. 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. -
