Abstract excerpt
Polymerases ε and δ maintain genome integrity through exonuclease proofreading. Germline and somatic pathogenic variants (PVs) in the exonuclease domain (ED) of POLE and POLD1 impair proofreading, causing hypermutated tumors. Despite shared mutational features that make these tumors highly immunogenic, molecular and clinical distinctions between POLE and POLD1 mutations and between somatic and germline variants...
