Final classification: Uncertain Significance (VUS) — the single PM2_Supporting criterion satisfies no pathogenic or benign combination rule under ACMG/AMP 2015.
Final determination:
Under the governing local custom POLE gene framework (Leon-Castillo et al. 2020, which uses standard ACMG/AMP 2015 combination logic for criteria it does not customize) and generic ACMG/AMP 2015 rules (PMID 25741868), the single met criterion PM2_Supporting satisfies no Pathogenic (e.g., PVS1+1PS, 2PS, 1PS+3PM), Likely Pathogenic (e.g., 3PM, 2PM+2PP, 1PM+4PP), Benign (BA1, 2BS), or Likely Benign (1BS+1BP, 2BP) combination; therefore the variant is Uncertain Significance.

All criteria require review: For research and educational purposes only.
| Criterion | Status | Rationale | Evidence used |
|---|---|---|---|
| PVS1 | N/A | Not applicable: this is a missense substitution, not a null variant, so the loss-of-function criterion does not apply. |
