Is AHCY p.Arg343= (c.1029G>T) pathogenic?

AHCY p.Arg343= (c.1029G>T) is classified Likely benign in AHCY (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2023-03-19). Very rare (popmax 0.000932%, nfe); Associated with hypermethioninemia with deficiency of S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase.

What condition is associated with AHCY p.Arg343= (c.1029G>T)?

AHCY p.Arg343= (c.1029G>T) is associated with hypermethioninemia with deficiency of S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase (ClinVar).

How common is AHCY p.Arg343= (c.1029G>T) in the general population?

AHCY p.Arg343= (c.1029G>T) is very rare (popmax 0.000932%, nfe) (gnomAD).

How is S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase 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.
