Is ABCC9 p.Ala78Val (c.233C>T) pathogenic?

ABCC9 p.Ala78Val (c.233C>T) is classified Uncertain significance in ABCC9 (ClinVar, Multiple submitters, 2 submitters; last evaluated 2025-09-05). AlphaMissense: likely benign (0.0997); Very rare (popmax 0.000339%, nfe); Associated with dilated cardiomyopathy 1O.

What condition is associated with ABCC9 p.Ala78Val (c.233C>T)?

ABCC9 p.Ala78Val (c.233C>T) is associated with dilated cardiomyopathy 1O (ClinVar).

How common is ABCC9 p.Ala78Val (c.233C>T) in the general population?

ABCC9 p.Ala78Val (c.233C>T) is very rare (popmax 0.000339%, nfe) (gnomAD).

How is Familial isolated dilated cardiomyopathy inherited?

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

What do computational predictors say about ABCC9 p.Ala78Val (c.233C>T)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely benign (score 0.0997) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

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