What condition is associated with APC p.Arg527= (c.1579A>C)?

APC p.Arg527= (c.1579A>C) is associated with familial adenomatous polyposis 1 (ClinVar).

How common is APC p.Arg527= (c.1579A>C) in the general population?

APC p.Arg527= (c.1579A>C) is very rare (popmax 8.48e-05%, nfe) (gnomAD).

How is Familial adenomatous polyposis inherited?

Typically Autosomal dominant, 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.
