Is ACADS p.Gly90Ser (c.268G>A) pathogenic?

ACADS p.Gly90Ser (c.268G>A) is classified Uncertain significance in ACADS (ClinVar, Single submitter, 2 submitters; last evaluated 2025-08-04). AlphaMissense: likely pathogenic (0.7187); Ultra-rare (popmax 0.0329%, mid); Associated with short chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency.

What condition is associated with ACADS p.Gly90Ser (c.268G>A)?

ACADS p.Gly90Ser (c.268G>A) is associated with short chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (ClinVar).

How common is ACADS p.Gly90Ser (c.268G>A) in the general population?

ACADS p.Gly90Ser (c.268G>A) is ultra-rare (popmax 0.0329%, mid) (gnomAD).

How is Short 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 ACADS p.Gly90Ser (c.268G>A)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely pathogenic (score 0.7187) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

ClinVar classifies this uncertain; the computational predictors unanimously lean damaging — a triage signal, not a reclassification

AlphaMissense carries the ACMG weight for missense; REVEL and SaProt are independent agreement signals.

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.
