Is AGA p.Arg234Cys (c.700C>T) pathogenic?

AGA p.Arg234Cys (c.700C>T) is classified Uncertain significance in AGA (ClinVar, Multiple submitters, 2 submitters; last evaluated 2022-06-12). AlphaMissense: likely pathogenic (0.7797); Very rare (popmax 0.00667%, afr); Associated with aspartylglucosaminuria.

What condition is associated with AGA p.Arg234Cys (c.700C>T)?

AGA p.Arg234Cys (c.700C>T) is associated with aspartylglucosaminuria (ClinVar).

How common is AGA p.Arg234Cys (c.700C>T) in the general population?

AGA p.Arg234Cys (c.700C>T) is very rare (popmax 0.00667%, afr) (gnomAD).

How is Aspartylglucosaminuria inherited?

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

What do computational predictors say about AGA p.Arg234Cys (c.700C>T)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely pathogenic (score 0.7797) — 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.
