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]

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Gly1945Serfs*4) 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 not present in population databases (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: 240576). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -

Frameshift variant predicted to result in protein truncation and 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); Observed in a pediatric patient with congenital heart disease (PMID: 33084842); This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 33084842) -

Significance:Uncertain significance
Review Status:criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method:clinical testing

The c.5829_5830delAG variant, located in coding exon 43 of the POLE gene, results from a deletion of two nucleotides at nucleotide positions 5829 to 5830, causing a translational frameshift with a predicted alternate stop codon (p.G1945Sfs*4). This alteration is expected to result in loss of function by premature protein truncation or nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. However, loss of function of POLE has not been clearly established as a mechanism of disease. Since supporting evidence is limited at this time, the clinical significance of this alteration remains unclear. -
