Abstract excerpt
Germline pathogenic variants in the exonuclease domain of the replicative DNA polymerase Pol ε encoded by the POLE gene, predispose essentially to colorectal and endometrial tumors by inducing an ultramutator phenotype. It is still unclear whether all the POLE alterations influence similar strength tumorigenesis, immune microenvironment, and treatment response. In this review, we summarize the current...
