What condition is associated with AK2 p.Leu44= (c.132A>G)?

AK2 p.Leu44= (c.132A>G) is associated with reticular dysgenesis (ClinVar).

How common is AK2 p.Leu44= (c.132A>G) in the general population?

AK2 p.Leu44= (c.132A>G) is very rare (popmax 0.00223%, eas) (gnomAD).

How is Reticular dysgenesis 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.
