Is APBB1 p.Gly18Arg (c.52G>A) pathogenic?

APBB1 p.Gly18Arg (c.52G>A) is classified Uncertain significance in APBB1 (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2024-08-28). AlphaMissense: likely benign (0.1948); Very rare (popmax 0.00719%, sas).

How common is APBB1 p.Gly18Arg (c.52G>A) in the general population?

APBB1 p.Gly18Arg (c.52G>A) is very rare (popmax 0.00719%, sas) (gnomAD).

What do computational predictors say about APBB1 p.Gly18Arg (c.52G>A)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely benign (score 0.1948) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

Protein change
AlphaMissense	0.1948	likely benign
REVEL	0.181	moderately benign-leaning
SaProt	LLR -5.93	tolerated
⇒ AlphaMissense, REVEL and SaProt all call this tolerated.

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.
