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.
pvs1_generic_framework pvs1_variant_assessment spliceai generic_acmg_combination_rules
PS1 Not met Not met: no pathogenic record of p.Gly1501Arg via a different nucleotide change exists; ClinVar classifies this variant as Uncertain significance.
clinvar oncokb vcep_path_250_323
PS2 Not assessed Not assessed: no de novo occurrence of this variant in a tested proband is documented in any source.
clinvar PMID:25394175 generic_acmg_combination_rules final_classification_framework
PS3 Not assessed Not assessed: no variant-specific functional study of p.Gly1501Arg exists; OncoKB reports no functional evidence.

PS4 Not met Not met: the variant is absent from the Leon-Castillo recurrent-variant table and COSMIC, failing the somatic-recurrence rule.
vcep_path_250_323 vcep_path_250_323_s002 clinvar PMID:25394175
PM1 Not met Not met: residue 1501 lies outside the exonuclease proofreading domain (residues 286-459) containing all established hotspots.

PM3 Not assessed Not assessed: no proband genotyping or phase data exist to test for a variant in trans with a pathogenic allele.
clinvar generic_acmg_combination_rules final_classification_framework PMID:25394175
PM4 N/A Not applicable: single-nucleotide missense with no protein length change, so the in-frame indel/stop-loss criterion does not apply.

PM5 Not assessed Not assessed: no pathogenic comparator at residue 1501 was found, though its absence is not comprehensively confirmed.
