Is ALG2 p.Ala372= (c.1116A>G) pathogenic?

ALG2 p.Ala372= (c.1116A>G) is classified Likely benign in ALG2 (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2024-01-07). Very rare (popmax 0.008%, afr); Associated with congenital myasthenic syndrome 14.

What condition is associated with ALG2 p.Ala372= (c.1116A>G)?

ALG2 p.Ala372= (c.1116A>G) is associated with congenital myasthenic syndrome 14, ALG2-congenital disorder of glycosylation (ClinVar).

How common is ALG2 p.Ala372= (c.1116A>G) in the general population?

ALG2 p.Ala372= (c.1116A>G) is very rare (popmax 0.008%, 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.
