Understanding the cancer-predisposing syndrome caused by defective proofreading activity of POLE and POLD1
Germline missense pathogenic variants in the exonuclease domains (ED) of polymerases epsilon (POLE) and delta (POLD1), which affect the proofreading capabilities of these polymerases, predispose to multiple colorectal adenomas and carcinomas, causing the so-called polymerase proofreading-associated polyposis (PPAP).
