Is AMT p.Phe52Cys (c.155T>G) pathogenic?

AMT p.Phe52Cys (c.155T>G) is classified Uncertain significance in AMT (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2023-10-03). AlphaMissense: likely pathogenic (0.9685); Absent from gnomAD v4.1; Associated with glycine encephalopathy.

What condition is associated with AMT p.Phe52Cys (c.155T>G)?

AMT p.Phe52Cys (c.155T>G) is associated with glycine encephalopathy (ClinVar).

How common is AMT p.Phe52Cys (c.155T>G) in the general population?

AMT p.Phe52Cys (c.155T>G) is absent from gnomAD v4.1 (gnomAD).

How is Glycine encephalopathy inherited?

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

What do computational predictors say about AMT p.Phe52Cys (c.155T>G)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely pathogenic (score 0.9685) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

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

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