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 testingGeneDxMay 26, 2021Not observed in large population cohorts (Lek 2016); 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; This variant is associated with the following publications: (PMID: 29056344) -
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingInvitaeDec 12, 2023This sequence change replaces glutamine, which is neutral and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 196 of the POLE protein (p.Gln196His). RNA analysis indicates that this missense change induces altered splicing and likely results in the loss of 4 amino acid residue(s), but is expected to preserve the integrity of the reading-frame. 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: 240577). 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%. Studies have shown that this missense change results in the activation of a cryptic splice site in exon 7 (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. -
not specified Uncertain:1
Uncertain significance, criteria provided, single submitterclinical testingGenetic Services Laboratory, University of ChicagoApr 22, 2020DNA sequence analysis of the POLE gene demonstrated a sequence change, c.588G>T, in exon 7 that results in an amino acid change, p.Gln196His. This sequence change does not appear to have been previously described in patients with POLE-related disorders and has also not been described in population databases (gnomAD, ExAC). The p.Gln196His change affects a poorly conserved amino acid residue located in a domain of the POLE protein that is known to be functional. The p.Gln196His substitution appears to be benign using several in-silico pathogenicity prediction tools (SIFT, PolyPhen2, Align GVGD, REVEL). Due to these contrasting evidences and the lack of functional studies, the clinical significance of the p.Gln196His change remains unknown at this time. -
