AlphaMissense: likely pathogenic (0.9466); Very rare (popmax 0.00167%, amr); Associated with medium chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency.

What condition is associated with ACADM p.Phe252Cys (c.755T>G)?

ACADM p.Phe252Cys (c.755T>G) is associated with medium chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (ClinVar).

How common is ACADM p.Phe252Cys (c.755T>G) in the general population?

ACADM p.Phe252Cys (c.755T>G) is very rare (popmax 0.00167%, amr) (gnomAD).

How is Medium chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency inherited?

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

What do computational predictors say about ACADM p.Phe252Cys (c.755T>G)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely pathogenic (score 0.9466) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

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.
