POLE and colorectal carcinoma: Using a combination of whole-genome sequencing of highly selected multiple adenoma patients, linkage analysis, and studies of loss-of-heterozygosity (LOH) in tumors, followed by replication in a large set of familial CRC cases [31••] we identified one germline mutation in POLE (p.Leu424Val) and one in POLD1 (p.Ser478Asn) that were not present in nearly 7000 UK controls or in public databases of controls.
