Is ALG2 p.Ala243= (c.729A>C) pathogenic?

ALG2 p.Ala243= (c.729A>C) is classified Likely benign in ALG2 (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2025-10-05). Ultra-rare (popmax 0.012%, afr); Associated with congenital myasthenic syndrome 14.

What condition is associated with ALG2 p.Ala243= (c.729A>C)?

ALG2 p.Ala243= (c.729A>C) is associated with congenital myasthenic syndrome 14, ALG2-congenital disorder of glycosylation (ClinVar).

How common is ALG2 p.Ala243= (c.729A>C) in the general population?

ALG2 p.Ala243= (c.729A>C) is ultra-rare (popmax 0.012%, afr) (gnomAD).

How is ALG2-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.
