Is AIPL1 p.Arg32Pro (c.95G>C) pathogenic?

AIPL1 p.Arg32Pro (c.95G>C) is classified Uncertain significance in AIPL1 (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2022-03-10). AlphaMissense: likely pathogenic (0.9332); Very rare (popmax 6.84e-05%); Associated with Leber congenital amaurosis 4.

What condition is associated with AIPL1 p.Arg32Pro (c.95G>C)?

AIPL1 p.Arg32Pro (c.95G>C) is associated with Leber congenital amaurosis 4 (ClinVar).

How common is AIPL1 p.Arg32Pro (c.95G>C) in the general population?

AIPL1 p.Arg32Pro (c.95G>C) is very rare (popmax 6.84e-05%) (gnomAD).

How is Cone rod dystrophy inherited?

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

What do computational predictors say about AIPL1 p.Arg32Pro (c.95G>C)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely pathogenic (score 0.9332) — 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.
