Is ALG9 p.Leu179Phe (c.535C>T) pathogenic?

ALG9 p.Leu179Phe (c.535C>T) is classified Uncertain significance in ALG9 (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2020-05-29). AlphaMissense: likely benign (0.1265); Very rare (popmax 0.000678%, nfe); Associated with ALG9-congenital disorder of glycosylation.

What condition is associated with ALG9 p.Leu179Phe (c.535C>T)?

ALG9 p.Leu179Phe (c.535C>T) is associated with ALG9-congenital disorder of glycosylation (ClinVar).

How common is ALG9 p.Leu179Phe (c.535C>T) in the general population?

ALG9 p.Leu179Phe (c.535C>T) is very rare (popmax 0.000678%, nfe) (gnomAD).

How is ALG9-CDG inherited?

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

What do computational predictors say about ALG9 p.Leu179Phe (c.535C>T)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely benign (score 0.1265) — 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.
