Is ARSB p.Pro44= (c.132G>A) pathogenic?

ARSB p.Pro44= (c.132G>A) is classified Likely benign in ARSB (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2024-08-29). Very rare (popmax 0.000357%, nfe); Associated with mucopolysaccharidosis type 6.

What condition is associated with ARSB p.Pro44= (c.132G>A)?

ARSB p.Pro44= (c.132G>A) is associated with mucopolysaccharidosis type 6 (ClinVar).

How common is ARSB p.Pro44= (c.132G>A) in the general population?

ARSB p.Pro44= (c.132G>A) is very rare (popmax 0.000357%, nfe) (gnomAD).

How is Mucopolysaccharidosis type 6 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.
