Is ADAR p.Ile57= (c.171T>C) pathogenic?

ADAR p.Ile57= (c.171T>C) is classified Likely benign in ADAR (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2025-09-06). Very rare (popmax 0.00333%, amr); Associated with Aicardi-Goutieres syndrome 6.

What condition is associated with ADAR p.Ile57= (c.171T>C)?

ADAR p.Ile57= (c.171T>C) is associated with Aicardi-Goutieres syndrome 6, dyschromatosis symmetrica hereditaria (ClinVar).

How common is ADAR p.Ile57= (c.171T>C) in the general population?

ADAR p.Ile57= (c.171T>C) is very rare (popmax 0.00333%, amr) (gnomAD).

How is Aicardi-Goutières syndrome inherited?

Typically Autosomal dominant, 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.
