Is ATF4 p.Pro135Leu (c.404C>T) pathogenic?

ATF4 p.Pro135Leu (c.404C>T) is classified Benign in ATF4 (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2019-12-31). AlphaMissense: likely benign (0.0683); Low-frequency (popmax 2.48%, afr).

How common is ATF4 p.Pro135Leu (c.404C>T) in the general population?

ATF4 p.Pro135Leu (c.404C>T) is low-frequency (popmax 2.48%, afr) (gnomAD).

What do computational predictors say about ATF4 p.Pro135Leu (c.404C>T)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely benign (score 0.0683) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

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.
