What condition is associated with BAP1 p.Ala288Gly (c.863C>G)?

BAP1 p.Ala288Gly (c.863C>G) is associated with hereditary neoplastic syndrome, BAP1-related tumor predisposition syndrome (ClinVar).

How common is BAP1 p.Ala288Gly (c.863C>G) in the general population?

BAP1 p.Ala288Gly (c.863C>G) is very rare (popmax 0.00329%, sas) (gnomAD).

What do computational predictors say about BAP1 p.Ala288Gly (c.863C>G)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely benign (score 0.087) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

ClinVar classifies this uncertain; the computational predictors unanimously lean tolerated — a triage signal, not a reclassification

AlphaMissense carries the ACMG weight for missense; REVEL and SaProt are independent agreement signals.

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.
