Is DOLK p.Ser43= (c.129G>C) pathogenic?

DOLK p.Ser43= (c.129G>C) is classified Likely benign in DOLK (ClinVar, Multiple submitters, 2 submitters; last evaluated 2024-07-27). Very rare (popmax 0.000847%, nfe); Associated with DK1-congenital disorder of glycosylation.

What condition is associated with DOLK p.Ser43= (c.129G>C)?

DOLK p.Ser43= (c.129G>C) is associated with DK1-congenital disorder of glycosylation (ClinVar).

How common is DOLK p.Ser43= (c.129G>C) in the general population?

DOLK p.Ser43= (c.129G>C) is very rare (popmax 0.000847%, nfe) (gnomAD).

How is DK1-CDG inherited?

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

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.
