Abstract excerpt
DNA polymerase epsilon (POLe) is the leading strand replicative polymerase. POLe mutations located primarily in the proofreading domain cause replication errors and increase mutation burden in cancer cells. Consequently, POLe has been classified as a cancer driver gene. Certain POLe frameshift mutations that affect the proofreading domain are purified in cancer cells, but point mutations in other domains have...
