Is AMT p.Cys76= (c.228C>T) pathogenic?

AMT p.Cys76= (c.228C>T) is classified Likely benign in AMT (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2023-10-07). Very rare (popmax 8.47e-05%, nfe); Associated with glycine encephalopathy.

What condition is associated with AMT p.Cys76= (c.228C>T)?

AMT p.Cys76= (c.228C>T) is associated with glycine encephalopathy (ClinVar).

How common is AMT p.Cys76= (c.228C>T) in the general population?

AMT p.Cys76= (c.228C>T) is very rare (popmax 8.47e-05%, nfe) (gnomAD).

How is Glycine encephalopathy 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.
