Is AK2 p.Gly29= (c.87G>A) pathogenic?

AK2 p.Gly29= (c.87G>A) is classified Likely benign in AK2 (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2023-06-03). Very rare (popmax 0.00135%, afr); Associated with reticular dysgenesis.

What condition is associated with AK2 p.Gly29= (c.87G>A)?

AK2 p.Gly29= (c.87G>A) is associated with reticular dysgenesis (ClinVar).

How common is AK2 p.Gly29= (c.87G>A) in the general population?

AK2 p.Gly29= (c.87G>A) is very rare (popmax 0.00135%, afr) (gnomAD).

How is Reticular dysgenesis inherited?

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

Remaining individuals shows a higher raw frequency than the grpmax group above it. gnomAD excludes bottlenecked groups — Finnish, Ashkenazi Jewish, Amish and “Remaining individuals” — from grpmax, because founder effects make their frequencies unrepresentative for filtering. The table is sorted by frequency, so an excluded group can sit above the grpmax row.

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.
