Is ACADM p.Ala327= (c.981A>C) pathogenic?

ACADM p.Ala327= (c.981A>C) is classified Likely benign in ACADM (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2021-11-27). Very rare (popmax 0.000254%, nfe); Associated with medium chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency.

What condition is associated with ACADM p.Ala327= (c.981A>C)?

ACADM p.Ala327= (c.981A>C) is associated with medium chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (ClinVar).

How common is ACADM p.Ala327= (c.981A>C) in the general population?

ACADM p.Ala327= (c.981A>C) is very rare (popmax 0.000254%, nfe) (gnomAD).

How is Medium chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency inherited?

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

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.
