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: Pathogenic

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gln1741*) 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). This variant is present in population databases (rs781481160, gnomAD 0.002%). 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: 505380). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Significance: Uncertain significance

Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method: clinical testing

The p.Gln1741X variant in POLE has not been previously reported in individuals w ith colorectal cancer but has been identified in 2/66186 of European chromosomes by the Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC, http://exac.broadinstitute.org; dbSN P rs781481160). This nonsense variant leads to a premature termination codon at position 1741, which is predicted to lead to a truncated or absent protein. Alth ough this variant is expected severely impact the protein, the POLE gene has not yet been widely studied in patients (to date, virtually all variants reported i n patients with CRC represent missense changes). In summary, the clinical signif icance of the p.Gln1741X variant is uncertain. -
