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 testingInvitaeJan 08, 2024This sequence change replaces threonine, which is neutral and polar, with methionine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 457 of the POLE protein (p.Thr457Met). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with colorectal cancer and/or thyroid cancer (PMID: 32567205, 32992294). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 240390). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is not expected to disrupt POLE protein function with a negative predictive value of 80%. RNA analysis performed to evaluate the impact of this missense change on mRNA splicing indicates it does not significantly alter splicing (Invitae). 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 testingQuest Diagnostics Nichols Institute San Juan CapistranoFeb 08, 2023This variant has not been described in online databases. The frequency of this variant in the general population, 0.000013 (2/152254 chromosomes, http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org), is uninformative in assessment of its pathogenicity. In the published literature, the variant has been reported in individuals with thyroid cancer (PMID: 32992294 (2020)) and colorectal cancer (PMID: 32567205 (2020)). The variant has also been reported as a somatic variant in endometrial (PMID: 30917185 (2019)) and colorectal cancer tumors (PMID: 25124163 (2014)). Analysis of this variant using bioinformatics tools for the prediction of the effect of amino acid changes on protein structure and function yielded conflicting predictions that this variant is benign or damaging. Based on the available information, we are unable to determine the clinical significance of this variant. -

Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingAmbry GeneticsOct 05, 2023The p.T457M variant (also known as c.1370C>T), located in coding exon 14 of the POLE gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 1370. The threonine at codon 457 is replaced by methionine, an amino acid with similar properties. This variant has been previously reported in microsatellite stable colorectal cancer tumors; however, germline testing was not performed in these cases (Stenzinger A et al. Cancer Med 2014 Dec; 3(6):1527-38; Domingo E et al. The Lancet Gastroenterology & Hepatology 2016; doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/S2468-1253(16)30014-0 [epub ahead of print]). This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
