Is ARSB p.Val60Ile (c.178G>A) pathogenic?

ARSB p.Val60Ile (c.178G>A) is classified Uncertain significance in ARSB (ClinVar, Single submitter, 2 submitters; last evaluated 2020-11-03). AlphaMissense: likely benign (0.0986); Very rare (popmax 0.00235%, nfe); Associated with mucopolysaccharidosis type 6.

What condition is associated with ARSB p.Val60Ile (c.178G>A)?

ARSB p.Val60Ile (c.178G>A) is associated with mucopolysaccharidosis type 6 (ClinVar).

How common is ARSB p.Val60Ile (c.178G>A) in the general population?

ARSB p.Val60Ile (c.178G>A) is very rare (popmax 0.00235%, nfe) (gnomAD).

How is Mucopolysaccharidosis type 6 inherited?

Typically Autosomal recessive (Orphanet). A genetic counselor can assess individual risk for a family.

What do computational predictors say about ARSB p.Val60Ile (c.178G>A)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely benign (score 0.0986) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

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.
