Is AIRE p.Pro162Ser (c.484C>T) pathogenic?

AIRE p.Pro162Ser (c.484C>T) is classified Uncertain significance in AIRE (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2024-08-02). AlphaMissense: likely benign (0.0661); Ultra-rare (popmax 0.0215%, eas); Associated with autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome type 1.

What condition is associated with AIRE p.Pro162Ser (c.484C>T)?

AIRE p.Pro162Ser (c.484C>T) is associated with autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome type 1 (ClinVar).

How common is AIRE p.Pro162Ser (c.484C>T) in the general population?

AIRE p.Pro162Ser (c.484C>T) is ultra-rare (popmax 0.0215%, eas) (gnomAD).

How is Autoimmune polyendocrinopathy type 1 inherited?

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

What do computational predictors say about AIRE p.Pro162Ser (c.484C>T)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely benign (score 0.0661) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

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.
