Is ARX p.Pro201= (c.603G>A) pathogenic?

ARX p.Pro201= (c.603G>A) is classified Likely benign in ARX (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2024-09-29). Ultra-rare (popmax 0.0402%, eas); Associated with developmental and epileptic encephalopathy, 1.

What condition is associated with ARX p.Pro201= (c.603G>A)?

ARX p.Pro201= (c.603G>A) is associated with developmental and epileptic encephalopathy, 1, intellectual disability, X-linked, with or without seizures, ARX-related (ClinVar).

How common is ARX p.Pro201= (c.603G>A) in the general population?

ARX p.Pro201= (c.603G>A) is ultra-rare (popmax 0.0402%, eas) (gnomAD).

How is Infantile epileptic spasms syndrome inherited?

Typically Autosomal dominant, 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.
