Is ATP7B p.Glu293= (c.879G>A) pathogenic?

ATP7B p.Glu293= (c.879G>A) is classified Likely benign in ATP7B (ClinVar, Multiple submitters, 3 submitters; last evaluated 2025-06-15). Very rare (popmax 0.00169%, nfe); Associated with Wilson disease.

What condition is associated with ATP7B p.Glu293= (c.879G>A)?

ATP7B p.Glu293= (c.879G>A) is associated with Wilson disease (ClinVar).

How common is ATP7B p.Glu293= (c.879G>A) in the general population?

ATP7B p.Glu293= (c.879G>A) is very rare (popmax 0.00169%, nfe) (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.
