Variant summary
Our verdict is Benign. The variant received -20 ACMG points: 0P and 20B. BP4_StrongBP6_Very_StrongBA1
The NM_002691.4(POLD1):c.518G>A(p.Ser173Asn) variant causes a missense change. The variant allele was found at a frequency of 0.00539 in 1,614,076 control chromosomes in the GnomAD database, including 416 homozygotes. In-silico tool predicts a benign outcome for this variant. 14/21 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Benign (★★). Another variant affecting the same amino acid position, but resulting in a different missense (i.e. S173R) has been classified as Likely benign.

Submissions by phenotype
not specified Benign:6
This variant is considered likely benign or benign based on one or more of the following criteria: it is a conservative change, it occurs at a poorly conserved position in the protein, it is predicted to be benign by multiple in silico algorithms, and/or has population frequency not consistent with disease. -

Hereditary cancer-predisposing syndrome Benign:3
The missense variant NM_001308632.1(POLD1):c.518G>A (p.Ser173Asn) has been reported to ClinVar as Benign with a status of (2 stars) criteria provided, multiple submitters, no conflicts (Variation ID 380634 as of 2025-01-02). The variant is observed in one or more well-documented healthy adults.There is a small physicochemical difference between serine and asparagine, which is not likely to impact secondary protein structure as these residues share similar properties.The asparagine residue at codon 173 of POLD1 is only present in a single other mammalian species: Tibetan antelope. The nucleotide c.518 in POLD1 is predicted conserved by GERP++ and PhyloP across 100 vertebrates. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Benign -
- -
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. -
not provided Benign:2
Variant summary: The POLD1 c.518G>A (p.Ser173Asn) variant involves the alteration of a conserved nucleotide. 5/5 in silico tools predict a benign outcome for this variant. This variant was found in 1114/120932 control chromosomes (including 57 homozygotes), predominantly observed in the African subpopulation at a frequency of 0.1000194 (1030/10298). This frequency is about 7041 times the estimated maximal expected allele frequency of a pathogenic POLD1 variant (0.0000142), suggesting this is a common benign polymorphism found primarily in the populations of African. Taken together, this variant is classified as Benign. -

The POLD1 p.Ser173Asn variant was identified in dbSNP (ID: rs1726803) “With Benign allele”, ClinVar (classified benign by GeneDx, Invitae, Ambry Genetics and Quest Diagnostics Nichols Institute San Juan Capistrano), and in control databases in 2724 (141 homozygous) of 276964 chromosomes at a frequency of 0.01 increasing the likelihood this could be a low frequency benign variant (Genome Aggregation Database Feb 27, 2017). Breakdown of the observations by population include African in 2439 (139 homozygous) of 23962 chromosomes (freq: 0.10), Other in 20 of 6462 chromosomes (freq: 0.003), Latino in 231 (2 homozygous) of 34410 chromosomes (freq: 0.007), European Non-Finnish in 31 of 126566 chromosomes (freq: 0.0002), Ashkenazi Jewish in 1 of 10142 chromosomes (freq: 0.0001), and South Asian in 2 of 30782 chromosomes (freq: 0.00007), while not observed in the East Asian and European Finnish populations. The p.Ser173 residue is conserved in in mammals but not in more distantly related organisms and computational analyses (PolyPhen-2, SIFT, AlignGVGD, BLOSUM, MutationTaster) do not suggest a high likelihood of impact of Asn to the protein; this information is not predictive enough to rule out pathogenicity. The variant occurs outside of the splicing consensus sequence and 1 of 5 in silico or computational prediction software programs (SpliceSiteFinder, MaxEntScan, NNSPLICE, GeneSplicer, HumanSpliceFinder) predict a greater than 10% difference in splicing; this is not very predictive of pathogenicity. In summary, based on the above information this variant meets our laboratory's criteria to be classified as benign. -
