Is AP3B1 p.Pro644= (c.1932C>T) pathogenic?

AP3B1 p.Pro644= (c.1932C>T) is classified Likely benign in AP3B1 (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2025-12-28). Very rare (popmax 0.00187%, nfe); Associated with Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome 2.

What condition is associated with AP3B1 p.Pro644= (c.1932C>T)?

AP3B1 p.Pro644= (c.1932C>T) is associated with Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome 2 (ClinVar).

How common is AP3B1 p.Pro644= (c.1932C>T) in the general population?

AP3B1 p.Pro644= (c.1932C>T) is very rare (popmax 0.00187%, nfe) (gnomAD).

How is Familial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis 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.
