Is ABCD4 p.Asp484Asn (c.1450G>A) pathogenic?

ABCD4 p.Asp484Asn (c.1450G>A) is classified Uncertain significance in ABCD4 (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2024-12-04). AlphaMissense: likely benign (0.086); Ultra-rare (popmax 0.0142%, nfe); Associated with methylmalonic acidemia with homocystinuria, type cblJ.

What condition is associated with ABCD4 p.Asp484Asn (c.1450G>A)?

ABCD4 p.Asp484Asn (c.1450G>A) is associated with methylmalonic acidemia with homocystinuria, type cblJ (ClinVar).

How common is ABCD4 p.Asp484Asn (c.1450G>A) in the general population?

ABCD4 p.Asp484Asn (c.1450G>A) is ultra-rare (popmax 0.0142%, nfe) (gnomAD).

How is Methylmalonic acidemia with homocystinuria inherited?

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

What do computational predictors say about ABCD4 p.Asp484Asn (c.1450G>A)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely benign (score 0.086) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

Remaining individuals shows a higher raw frequency than the grpmax group above it. gnomAD excludes bottlenecked groups — Finnish, Ashkenazi Jewish, Amish and “Remaining individuals” — from grpmax, because founder effects make their frequencies unrepresentative for filtering. The table is sorted by frequency, so an excluded group can sit above the grpmax row.

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.
