Is AREG p.Asp80Asn (c.238G>A) pathogenic?

AREG p.Asp80Asn (c.238G>A) is classified Uncertain significance in AREG (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2024-10-12). AlphaMissense: likely benign (0.0975); Very rare (popmax 0.00223%, eas).

How common is AREG p.Asp80Asn (c.238G>A) in the general population?

AREG p.Asp80Asn (c.238G>A) is very rare (popmax 0.00223%, eas) (gnomAD).

What do computational predictors say about AREG p.Asp80Asn (c.238G>A)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely benign (score 0.0975) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

Protein change
AlphaMissense	0.0975	likely benign
REVEL	0.134	moderately benign-leaning
SaProt	LLR -8.18	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.
