What condition is associated with ALG8 p.Val477Leu (c.1429G>C)?

ALG8 p.Val477Leu (c.1429G>C) is associated with ALG8-congenital disorder of glycosylation (ClinVar).

How common is ALG8 p.Val477Leu (c.1429G>C) in the general population?

ALG8 p.Val477Leu (c.1429G>C) is very rare (popmax 0.00768%, sas) (gnomAD).

How is ALG8-CDG inherited?

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

What do computational predictors say about ALG8 p.Val477Leu (c.1429G>C)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely benign (score 0.0777) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

REVEL	0.329	indeterminate
SaProt	LLR -4.72	tolerated
⇒ AlphaMissense and SaProt both call this tolerated; REVEL makes no 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.
