Variant summary
Our verdict is Uncertain significance. The variant received 3 ACMG points: 3P and 0B. PM2PP3
The NM_006231.4(POLE):c.1439C>T(p.Ala480Val) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.000000685 in 1,460,798 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, with no homozygous occurrence. In-silico tool predicts a pathogenic outcome for this variant. 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. A480T) has been classified as Uncertain significance.

not provided    Uncertain:1 
This sequence change replaces alanine, which is neutral and non-polar, with valine, which is neutral and non-polar, at codon 480 of the POLE protein (p.Ala480Val). 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: 484443). 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 expected to disrupt POLE protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. 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. -
Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome    Uncertain:1 
The p.A480V variant (also known as c.1439C>T), located in coding exon 14 of the POLE gene, results from a C to T substitution at nucleotide position 1439. The alanine at codon 480 is replaced by valine, an amino acid with similar properties. This alteration was reported in 1/368 individuals with microsatellite stable colorectal cancer tumors (Stenzinger A et al. Cancer Med, 2014 Dec;3:1527-38). 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. -
