Is ALPL p.Arg71Pro (c.212G>C) pathogenic?

ALPL p.Arg71Pro (c.212G>C) is classified Pathogenic/Likely pathogenic in ALPL (ClinVar, Multiple submitters, 6 submitters; last evaluated 2025-09-02). AlphaMissense: likely pathogenic (0.9984); Very rare (popmax 0.00263%, nfe); Associated with hypophosphatasia.

What condition is associated with ALPL p.Arg71Pro (c.212G>C)?

ALPL p.Arg71Pro (c.212G>C) is associated with hypophosphatasia, adult hypophosphatasia, infantile hypophosphatasia (ClinVar).

How common is ALPL p.Arg71Pro (c.212G>C) in the general population?

ALPL p.Arg71Pro (c.212G>C) is very rare (popmax 0.00263%, nfe) (gnomAD).

How is Hypophosphatasia inherited?

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

What do computational predictors say about ALPL p.Arg71Pro (c.212G>C)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely pathogenic (score 0.9984) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

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.
