Is ALG2 p.Leu79Val (c.235C>G) pathogenic?

ALG2 p.Leu79Val (c.235C>G) is classified Uncertain significance in ALG2 (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2022-07-13). AlphaMissense: likely benign (0.1141); Ultra-rare (popmax 0.0235%, sas); Associated with ALG2-congenital disorder of glycosylation.

What condition is associated with ALG2 p.Leu79Val (c.235C>G)?

ALG2 p.Leu79Val (c.235C>G) is associated with ALG2-congenital disorder of glycosylation, congenital myasthenic syndrome 14 (ClinVar).

How common is ALG2 p.Leu79Val (c.235C>G) in the general population?

ALG2 p.Leu79Val (c.235C>G) is ultra-rare (popmax 0.0235%, sas) (gnomAD).

How is ALG2-CDG inherited?

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

What do computational predictors say about ALG2 p.Leu79Val (c.235C>G)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely benign (score 0.1141) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

ClinVar classifies this uncertain; the computational predictors unanimously lean tolerated — a triage signal, not a reclassification

AlphaMissense carries the ACMG weight for missense; REVEL and SaProt are independent agreement signals.

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.
