Variant summary
Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 0 ACMG points: 0P and 0B.
The NM_006231.4(POLE):c.320C>T(p.Ala107Val) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000013 in 1,613,864 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain significance (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. A107T) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

Submissions by phenotype
not provided Uncertain:2
This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with valine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 107 of the POLE protein (p.Ala107Val). This variant is present in population databases (no rsID available, gnomAD no frequency). 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: 240460). 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. -
Not observed at significant frequency in large population cohorts (gnomAD); In silico analysis supports that this missense variant does not alter protein structure/function; Has not been previously published as pathogenic or benign to our knowledge -
Colorectal cancer, susceptibility to, 12 Uncertain:1
The POLE c.320C>T (p.Ala107Val) missense change has an allele frequency of 0.0004% in gnomAD v2.1.1 (https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org). The in silico tool REVEL predicts a benign effect on protein function, but to our knowledge this prediction has not been confirmed by functional studies. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with POLE-related disease. In summary, the evidence currently available is insufficient to determine the clinical significance of this variant. It has therefore been classified as of uncertain significance. -
POLE-related disorder Uncertain:1
The POLE c.320C>T variant is predicted to result in the amino acid substitution p.Ala107Val. To our knowledge, this variant has not been reported in the literature. This variant is reported in 0.0% of alleles in individuals of African descent in gnomAD. In ClinVar, this variant is interpreted as uncertain (https://preview.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/240460/). 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
The p.A107V variant (also known as c.320C>T), located in coding exon 4 of the POLE gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 320. The alanine at codon 107 is replaced by valine, an amino acid with similar properties. This amino acid position is highly conserved in available vertebrate species. In addition, the in silico prediction for this alteration is inconclusive. Based on the available evidence, the clinical significance of this variant remains unclear. -
