Is ADSL p.Phe236= (c.708C>T) pathogenic?

ADSL p.Phe236= (c.708C>T) is classified Likely benign in ADSL (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2021-11-02). Very rare (popmax 0.0011%, sas); Associated with adenylosuccinate lyase deficiency.

What condition is associated with ADSL p.Phe236= (c.708C>T)?

ADSL p.Phe236= (c.708C>T) is associated with adenylosuccinate lyase deficiency (ClinVar).

How common is ADSL p.Phe236= (c.708C>T) in the general population?

ADSL p.Phe236= (c.708C>T) is very rare (popmax 0.0011%, sas) (gnomAD).

How is Adenylosuccinate lyase 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.
