Is ADA2 p.Met243Ile (c.729G>A) pathogenic?

ADA2 p.Met243Ile (c.729G>A) is classified Uncertain significance in ADA2 (ClinVar, Multiple submitters, 2 submitters; last evaluated 2022-01-26). AlphaMissense: likely benign (0.2377); Very rare (popmax 0.00585%, nfe); Associated with deficiency of adenosine deaminase 2.

What condition is associated with ADA2 p.Met243Ile (c.729G>A)?

ADA2 p.Met243Ile (c.729G>A) is associated with deficiency of adenosine deaminase 2, Sneddon syndrome (ClinVar).

How common is ADA2 p.Met243Ile (c.729G>A) in the general population?

ADA2 p.Met243Ile (c.729G>A) is very rare (popmax 0.00585%, nfe) (gnomAD).

How is Deficiency of adenosine deaminase 2 inherited?

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

What do computational predictors say about ADA2 p.Met243Ile (c.729G>A)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely benign (score 0.2377) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

ClinVar classifies this uncertain; the computational predictors unanimously lean tolerated — 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.
