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 testingQuest Diagnostics Nichols Institute San Juan CapistranoOct 31, 2019- -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeJan 24, 2024This sequence change replaces threonine, which is neutral and polar, with methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 1771 of the POLE protein (p.Thr1771Met). This variant is present in population databases (rs777695766, gnomAD 0.006%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with POLE-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 405600). An algorithm developed to predict the effect of missense changes on protein structure and function (PolyPhen-2) suggests that this variant is likely to be tolerated. 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 testingGeneDxSep 09, 2020In silico analysis supports that this missense variant has a deleterious effect on protein structure/function; Observed in an individual with ovarian cancer (Song 2020); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 31034466, 32546565) -

POLE-related condition Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingPreventionGenetics, part of Exact SciencesSep 08, 2023The POLE c.5312C>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Thr1771Met. It has been reported in a case and 3 controls from an ovarian cancer cohort study (Table S6, Song et al. 2021. PubMed ID: 32546565). This variant is reported in 0.0062% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/12-133218299-G-A). It is interpreted as uncertain significance in ClinVar (https://preview.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/405600/). At this time, the clinical significance of this variant is uncertain due to the absence of conclusive functional and genetic evidence. -
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsDec 17, 2021The c.5312C>T (p.T1771M) alteration is located in exon 39 (coding exon 39) of the POLE gene. This alteration results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 5312, causing the threonine (T) at amino acid position 1771 to be replaced by a methionine (M). Based on insufficient or conflicting evidence, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
