What condition is associated with ABCA3 p.Asp952= (c.2856C>T)?

ABCA3 p.Asp952= (c.2856C>T) is associated with interstitial lung disease due to ABCA3 deficiency, hereditary pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (ClinVar).

How common is ABCA3 p.Asp952= (c.2856C>T) in the general population?

ABCA3 p.Asp952= (c.2856C>T) is rare (popmax 0.122%, amr) (gnomAD).

ABCA3 p.Asp952=

Q: How is Interstitial lung disease due to ABCA3 deficiency 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.
