Is BAP1 p.Asp552Glu (c.1656T>A) pathogenic?

BAP1 p.Asp552Glu (c.1656T>A) is classified Uncertain significance in BAP1 (ClinVar, Multiple submitters, 2 submitters; last evaluated 2026-02-11). AlphaMissense: likely benign (0.2438); Absent from gnomAD v4.1; Associated with BAP1-related tumor predisposition syndrome.

What condition is associated with BAP1 p.Asp552Glu (c.1656T>A)?

BAP1 p.Asp552Glu (c.1656T>A) is associated with BAP1-related tumor predisposition syndrome, hereditary neoplastic syndrome (ClinVar).

How common is BAP1 p.Asp552Glu (c.1656T>A) in the general population?

BAP1 p.Asp552Glu (c.1656T>A) is absent from gnomAD v4.1 (gnomAD).

How is BAP1-related tumor predisposition syndrome inherited?

Typically Autosomal dominant (Orphanet). A genetic counselor can assess individual risk for a family.

What do computational predictors say about BAP1 p.Asp552Glu (c.1656T>A)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely benign (score 0.2438) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.
