Is AP3B1 p.Pro182Ser (c.544C>T) pathogenic?

AP3B1 p.Pro182Ser (c.544C>T) is classified Uncertain significance in AP3B1 (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2024-07-19). AlphaMissense: likely benign (0.1393); Very rare (popmax 0.00168%, amr); Associated with Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome 2.

What condition is associated with AP3B1 p.Pro182Ser (c.544C>T)?

AP3B1 p.Pro182Ser (c.544C>T) is associated with Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome 2 (ClinVar).

How common is AP3B1 p.Pro182Ser (c.544C>T) in the general population?

AP3B1 p.Pro182Ser (c.544C>T) is very rare (popmax 0.00168%, amr) (gnomAD).

How is Familial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis inherited?

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

What do computational predictors say about AP3B1 p.Pro182Ser (c.544C>T)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely benign (score 0.1393) — 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.
