Is ATM p.Asp985= (c.2955T>C) pathogenic?

ATM p.Asp985= (c.2955T>C) is classified Likely benign in ATM (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2021-09-26). Very rare (popmax 8.47e-05%, nfe); Associated with ataxia telangiectasia.

What condition is associated with ATM p.Asp985= (c.2955T>C)?

ATM p.Asp985= (c.2955T>C) is associated with ataxia telangiectasia (ClinVar).

How common is ATM p.Asp985= (c.2955T>C) in the general population?

ATM p.Asp985= (c.2955T>C) is very rare (popmax 8.47e-05%, nfe) (gnomAD).

How is Ataxia-telangiectasia inherited?

Typically 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.
