Is ARX p.Leu537Pro (c.1610T>C) pathogenic?

ARX p.Leu537Pro (c.1610T>C) is classified Uncertain significance in ARX (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter). AlphaMissense: likely pathogenic (0.9998); Absent from gnomAD v4.1; Associated with developmental and epileptic encephalopathy, 1.

What condition is associated with ARX p.Leu537Pro (c.1610T>C)?

ARX p.Leu537Pro (c.1610T>C) is associated with developmental and epileptic encephalopathy, 1 (ClinVar).

How common is ARX p.Leu537Pro (c.1610T>C) in the general population?

ARX p.Leu537Pro (c.1610T>C) is absent from gnomAD v4.1 (gnomAD).

How is Infantile epileptic spasms syndrome inherited?

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

What do computational predictors say about ARX p.Leu537Pro (c.1610T>C)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely pathogenic (score 0.9998) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

No allele count reported in gnomAD v4.1 (AN 1,168,063). This is missing data, not an absence: the variant may or may not be present in gnomAD. Rarity (ACMG PM2) and BA1/BS1 cannot be assessed for it.
