Not observed in large population cohorts (Lek 2016); In silico analysis, which includes protein predictors and evolutionary conservation, supports a deleterious effect; Has not been previously published as pathogenic or benign to our knowledge; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 32567205, 32992294, 25124163, 25860647, 30917185) -
This 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 POLE-related cancer (PMID: 32567205, 32992294, 36629684, 37990341). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 240390). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) 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 (internal data). 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. -
This 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. -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Uncertain:1
The 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. -
