What condition is associated with ABCD1 p.Arg389Gly (c.1165C>G)?

ABCD1 p.Arg389Gly (c.1165C>G) is associated with adrenoleukodystrophy (ClinVar).

How common is ABCD1 p.Arg389Gly (c.1165C>G) in the general population?

ABCD1 p.Arg389Gly (c.1165C>G) is absent from gnomAD v4.1 (gnomAD).

How is X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy inherited?

Typically X-linked dominant (Orphanet). A genetic counselor can assess individual risk for a family.

What do computational predictors say about ABCD1 p.Arg389Gly (c.1165C>G)?
