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.Asp90Glufs*59) 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 (no rsID available, gnomAD 0.007%). 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: 240441). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Frameshift variant predicted to result in protein truncation or nonsense mediated decay in a gene for which loss of function is a known mechanism of disease; Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); Has not been previously published as pathogenic or benign to our knowledge -

Significance:Likely pathogenic

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The POLE c.270delC variant is predicted to result in a frameshift and premature protein termination (p.Asp90Glufs*59). To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature. This variant is reported in 0.0065% of alleles in individuals of European (Non-Finnish) descent in gnomAD (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/12-133257207-CG-C). It has conflicting interpretations of uncertain, likely pathogenic, and pathogenic in ClinVar (https://preview.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/240441/). Frameshift variants in POLE are expected to be pathogenic for autosomal recessive IMAGe-I syndrome. This variant is interpreted as likely pathogenic for autosomal recessive IMAGe-I syndrome and as a variant of uncertain significance for autosomal dominant POLE-associated disorders. -

Significance:Uncertain significance

Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter

Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.270delC variant, located in coding exon 3 of the POLE gene, results from a deletion of one nucleotide at nucleotide position 270, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.D90Efs*59). This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. Loss-of-function variants subject to nonsense mediated decay (NMD) in POLE are known to cause POLE deficiency; however, such associations with POLE-related polymerase proofreading-associated polyposis (PPAP) have not been reported. Based on the supporting evidence, this alteration is pathogenic for POLE deficiency; however, the association of this alteration with POLE-related PPAP is unknown. -
