Is ABCD1 p.Leu523Phe (c.1567C>T) pathogenic?

ABCD1 p.Leu523Phe (c.1567C>T) is classified Pathogenic in ABCD1 (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2019-11-29). AlphaMissense: likely pathogenic (0.8775); Absent from gnomAD v4.1; Associated with adrenoleukodystrophy.

What condition is associated with ABCD1 p.Leu523Phe (c.1567C>T)?

ABCD1 p.Leu523Phe (c.1567C>T) is associated with adrenoleukodystrophy (ClinVar).

How common is ABCD1 p.Leu523Phe (c.1567C>T) in the general population?

ABCD1 p.Leu523Phe (c.1567C>T) 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.Leu523Phe (c.1567C>T)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely pathogenic (score 0.8775) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.
