Is ATP7B p.Cys271= (c.813C>T) pathogenic?

ATP7B p.Cys271= (c.813C>T) is classified Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity in ATP7B (ClinVar, Conflicting submitters, 5 submitters; last evaluated 2026-02-02). Ultra-rare (popmax 0.0757%, eas); Associated with Wilson disease.

What condition is associated with ATP7B p.Cys271= (c.813C>T)?

ATP7B p.Cys271= (c.813C>T) is associated with Wilson disease (ClinVar).

How common is ATP7B p.Cys271= (c.813C>T) in the general population?

ATP7B p.Cys271= (c.813C>T) is ultra-rare (popmax 0.0757%, eas) (gnomAD).

How is Wilson disease 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.
