Is DOLK p.Ala129Ser (c.385G>T) pathogenic?

DOLK p.Ala129Ser (c.385G>T) is classified Uncertain significance in DOLK (ClinVar, Multiple submitters, 3 submitters; last evaluated 2025-12-05). AlphaMissense: likely benign (0.2212); Very rare (popmax 0.00381%, nfe); Associated with DK1-congenital disorder of glycosylation.

What condition is associated with DOLK p.Ala129Ser (c.385G>T)?

DOLK p.Ala129Ser (c.385G>T) is associated with DK1-congenital disorder of glycosylation (ClinVar).

How common is DOLK p.Ala129Ser (c.385G>T) in the general population?

DOLK p.Ala129Ser (c.385G>T) is very rare (popmax 0.00381%, nfe) (gnomAD).

How is DK1-CDG inherited?

Typically Autosomal recessive (Orphanet). A genetic counselor can assess individual risk for a family.

What do computational predictors say about DOLK p.Ala129Ser (c.385G>T)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely benign (score 0.2212) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

ClinVar classifies this uncertain; the computational predictors unanimously lean tolerated — a triage signal, not a reclassification

AlphaMissense carries the ACMG weight for missense; REVEL and SaProt are independent agreement signals.

Rarity supports pathogenicity (ACMG PM2); frequency above a disease-specific BA1/BS1 threshold argues against it. A variant frequent in one ancestry group can be near-absent in others, so a single global figure can mislead.
