What condition is associated with ALG1 p.Glu327= (c.981G>A)?

ALG1 p.Glu327= (c.981G>A) is associated with ALG1-congenital disorder of glycosylation (ClinVar).

How common is ALG1 p.Glu327= (c.981G>A) in the general population?

ALG1 p.Glu327= (c.981G>A) is very rare (popmax 0.00593%, nfe) (gnomAD).

How is ALG1-CDG 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.
