What condition is associated with ABCC6 p.Ser317Arg (c.951C>A)?

ABCC6 p.Ser317Arg (c.951C>A) is associated with autosomal recessive inherited pseudoxanthoma elasticum (ClinVar).

How common is ABCC6 p.Ser317Arg (c.951C>A) in the general population?

ABCC6 p.Ser317Arg (c.951C>A) is very rare (popmax 0.000509%, nfe) (gnomAD).

How is Pseudoxanthoma elasticum inherited?

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

What do computational predictors say about ABCC6 p.Ser317Arg (c.951C>A)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely pathogenic (score 0.7396) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

ClinVar classifies this uncertain; the computational predictors unanimously lean damaging — 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.
