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.
NM_006231.4:c.6150C>A is absent from all large population databases, including gnomAD v2.1 (exomes), gnomAD v4.1 (exomes/genomes), and gnomAD-Canada v1.0. This satisfies PM2_Supporting under the generic ACMG/AMP framework (allele frequency <0.1% and absent from controls).
Multiple lines of computational evidence suggest no impact on the gene product. REVEL score is 0.228 (below the 0.3 benign-leaning threshold), BayesDel score is -0.046 (negative, consistent with a benign prediction), and SpliceAI max delta score is 0.15 (below the 0.2 threshold for significant splice impact). The variant is absent from the Leon-Castillo et al. Supplementary Tables S2/S3, so the custom POLE BP4 rule is not triggered; generic ACMG/AMP BP4 applies at supporting strength based on concordant benign predictions from multiple algorithms.
Only two criteria were met: PM2_Supporting (absent from gnomAD v2.1, v4.1, and gnomAD-Canada) and BP4_Supporting (concordant benign in silico predictions: REVEL 0.228, BayesDel -0.046, SpliceAI max delta 0.15). This combination of one supporting pathogenic criterion and one supporting benign criterion does not satisfy any pathogenic, likely pathogenic, likely benign, or benign combination rule under the ACMG/AMP 2015 framework. The default classification is Variant of Uncertain Significance.

NM_006231.4:c.6150C>A (p.Phe2050Leu) is a missense variant in the C-terminal region of POLE, far outside the exonuclease domain (residues ~268-471) where established pathogenic hotspot mutations cluster.
This variant is absent from gnomAD v2.1, v4.1, and gnomAD-Canada population databases (PM2_Supporting).
Multiple lines of computational evidence (REVEL 0.228, BayesDel -0.046, SpliceAI max delta 0.15) suggest no significant impact on the gene product (BP4_Supporting).
ClinVar reports this variant as Uncertain significance (VariationID 3004425) with review status 'criteria provided, single submitter' (1-star); no expert panel classification is available.
No published functional studies, segregation analyses, de novo observations, or case-control data exist for this variant.
The variant has not been observed in COSMIC and is not listed as a recurrent variant in the Leon-Castillo et al. 2020 endometrial carcinoma cohort analysis.
With one supporting pathogenic criterion (PM2) and one supporting benign criterion (BP4), the evidence is insufficient for classification; the variant remains a Variant of Uncertain Significance.
