Variant summary: The POLD1 c.433G>A (p.Ala145Thr) variant involves the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. 3/5 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. This variant is located in the Ribonuclease H-like domain (InterPro).This variant was found in 308/121298 control chromosomes (2 homozygotes), predominantly observed in the European (Finnish) subpopulation at a frequency of 0.012269 (81/6602). This frequency is about 864 times the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic POLD1 variant (0.0000142), suggesting this is likely a benign polymorphism found primarily in the populations of European (Finnish) origin. In a non-peer reviewed project report this variant was reported to be found in 3/95 CRC patients (Rypdal KB, 2015). Another missense change at the same residue p.A145D has also been found in one CRC patient who did not have somatic pathogenic variants (PMID 23263490). Although it is not monogenically linked to CRC phenotype based on population data, whether this variant represents a risk allele needs to be further examined by case-control studies. There are no published functional studies. In ClinVar, while one clinical lab classifies it as uncertain significance, another as benign. Taken together, this variant is currently classified as likely benign. -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Benign:2
This alteration is classified as benign based on a combination of the following: seen in unaffected individuals, population frequency, intact protein function, lack of segregation with disease, co-occurrence, RNA analysis, in silico models, amino acid conservation, lack of disease association in case-control studies, and/or the mechanism of disease or impacted region is inconsistent with a known cause of pathogenicity. -
The missense variant NM_001308632.1(POLD1):c.433G>A (p.Ala145Thr) has been reported to ClinVar as Benign/Likely benign with a status of (2 stars) criteria provided, multiple submitters, no conflicts (Variation ID 221138 as of 2025-01-02).There is a small physicochemical difference between alanine and threonine, which is not likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues share similar properties.The nucleotide c.433 in POLD1 is predicted conserved by GERP++ and PhyloP across 100 vertebrates. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Benign. -
POLD1-related disorder Benign:1

Familial ovarian cancer Benign:1
The POLD1 p.Ala145Thr variant was not identified in the literature. The variant was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs137953986 as "With Likely benign allele"), ClinVar (classified as benign by Invitae; and as likely benign by Ambry Genetics, GeneDx and four other submitters), and in LOVD 3.0 (2x as benign and likely benign). The variant was identified in control databases in 767 of 276920 chromosomes (4 homozygous) at a frequency of 0.003, increasing the likelihood this could be a low frequency benign variant (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). The variant was observed in the following populations: African in 7 of 23990 chromosomes (freq: 0.0003), Other in 13 of 6454 chromosomes (freq: 0.002), Latino in 5 of 34416 chromosomes (freq: 0.0002), European in 340 of 126504 chromosomes (freq: 0.003), Ashkenazi Jewish in 1 of 10134 chromosomes (freq: 0.0001), East Asian in 1 of 18866 chromosomes (freq: 0.00005), Finnish in 341 of 25774 chromosomes (freq: 0.01), and South Asian in 59 of 30782 chromosomes (freq: 0.002). The p.Ala145 residue is conserved in mammals but not in more distantly related organisms. However, four out of five computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) do not suggest a high likelihood of impact to the protein; this information is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer) do not predict a difference in splicing. In summary, based on the above information, the clinical significance of this variant cannot be determined with certainty at this time although we would lean towards a more benign role for this variant. This variant is classified as likely benign. -
