Is AFP p.Ala476Val (c.1427C>T) pathogenic?

AFP p.Ala476Val (c.1427C>T) is classified Uncertain significance in AFP (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2024-08-07). AlphaMissense: likely benign (0.1119); Very rare (popmax 0.004%, afr).

How common is AFP p.Ala476Val (c.1427C>T) in the general population?

AFP p.Ala476Val (c.1427C>T) is very rare (popmax 0.004%, afr) (gnomAD).

What do computational predictors say about AFP p.Ala476Val (c.1427C>T)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely benign (score 0.1119) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

Protein change
AlphaMissense	0.1119	likely benign
REVEL	0.075	moderately benign-leaning
SaProt	LLR -7.73	tolerated
⇒ AlphaMissense, REVEL and SaProt all call this tolerated.

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.
