Is ADSL p.Val88Ala (c.263T>C) pathogenic?

ADSL p.Val88Ala (c.263T>C) is classified Uncertain significance in ADSL (ClinVar, Multiple submitters, 2 submitters; last evaluated 2019-09-03). AlphaMissense: likely pathogenic (0.9824); Very rare (popmax 0.000169%, nfe); Associated with adenylosuccinate lyase deficiency.

What condition is associated with ADSL p.Val88Ala (c.263T>C)?

ADSL p.Val88Ala (c.263T>C) is associated with adenylosuccinate lyase deficiency (ClinVar).

How common is ADSL p.Val88Ala (c.263T>C) in the general population?

ADSL p.Val88Ala (c.263T>C) is very rare (popmax 0.000169%, nfe) (gnomAD).

How is Adenylosuccinate lyase deficiency inherited?

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

What do computational predictors say about ADSL p.Val88Ala (c.263T>C)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely pathogenic (score 0.9824) — 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.
