Is ARX p.Cys562Arg (c.1684T>C) pathogenic?

ARX p.Cys562Arg (c.1684T>C) is classified Uncertain significance in ARX (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2019-01-01). AlphaMissense: likely pathogenic (0.9951); Absent from gnomAD v4.1; Associated with developmental and epileptic encephalopathy, 1.

What condition is associated with ARX p.Cys562Arg (c.1684T>C)?

ARX p.Cys562Arg (c.1684T>C) is associated with developmental and epileptic encephalopathy, 1 (ClinVar).

How common is ARX p.Cys562Arg (c.1684T>C) in the general population?

ARX p.Cys562Arg (c.1684T>C) is absent from gnomAD v4.1 (gnomAD).
