The recorded framework is León-Castillo et al. 2020 custom POLE framework. The criteria and strengths shown below come from the saved assessment; this page does not recalculate the classification.
The applied criteria and their strengths are shown as assessed under the stated framework.
p.Leu424Ile is explicitly listed in the León-Castillo et al. 2020 custom POLE framework as a non-hotspot exonuclease-domain missense variant qualifying for PM1_Moderate. The variant falls within the exonuclease proofreading domain (residues 268-471) and was classified in the pathogenic tier (POLE-score >=4) in the TCGA-based analysis.
NM_006231.4:c.1270C>A is absent from gnomAD v2.1, gnomAD v4.1, and gnomAD-Canada v1.0, meeting the non-VCEP PM2 threshold of allele frequency <0.1%.
A different pathogenic missense variant at the same codon — c.1270C>G (p.Leu424Val) — is established as a high-penetrance germline pathogenic variant causing polymerase proofreading-associated polyposis (PPAP), confirmed across multiple independent cohorts (Palles et al. 2013, Valle et al. 2014, Elsayed et al. 2014, Spier et al. 2015). The novel c.1270C>A (p.Leu424Ile) substitution at the same residue therefore meets PM5 at moderate strength.
p.L424I appears in Supplementary Table S2 of León-Castillo et al. 2020 with REVEL class 'likely disease causing' and only 1 benign in silico result (<=1), meeting the custom POLE PP3_Supporting rule. SpliceAI predicts no splicing impact (max delta score = 0.00).
No benign criterion marked as applied in the recorded assessment.
Three moderate-strength pathogenic criteria are met (PM1, PM2, PM5) with one additional supporting criterion (PP3). The León-Castillo et al. 2020 custom POLE framework was used for criterion triggering and strength selection, but the framework explicitly retains standard ACMG/AMP 2015 final-combination thresholds. Under the standard ACMG/AMP combination rules, >=3 moderate criteria alone qualifies as Likely Pathogenic. No benign criteria are met, so there is no conflicting evidence.

p.Leu424Ile is an exonuclease-domain missense variant explicitly assigned PM1 at moderate strength in the León-Castillo et al. 2020 custom POLE framework based on recurrence in the TCGA endometrial carcinoma cohort (n=2) and classification in the pathogenic POLE-score tier.
The variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1, v4.1, and gnomAD-Canada population databases, meeting the PM2 threshold of <0.1% allele frequency.
A different pathogenic missense variant at the same codon, c.1270C>G (p.Leu424Val), is established as a high-penetrance germline cause of polymerase proofreading-associated polyposis across multiple independent cohorts (Palles et al. 2013, Valle et al. 2014, Elsayed et al. 2014, Spier et al. 2015), satisfying PM5 at moderate strength.
In silico assessment from Supplementary Table S2 shows REVEL class 'likely disease causing' with only 1 benign result (SIFT=Deleterious, PANTHER=Probably damaging, SNAP2=effect, PolyPhen2=Probably damaging, PROVEAN=Neutral), meeting the custom POLE PP3_Supporting rule.
No variant-specific functional data, de novo observations, segregation data, or germline case-control evidence exist for c.1270C>A; eight publications citing POLE codon 424 all refer to the sister variant c.1270C>G (p.Leu424Val) and do not mention c.1270C>A.
