What condition is associated with BBS2 p.Leu128= (c.382T>C)?

BBS2 p.Leu128= (c.382T>C) is associated with Bardet-Biedl syndrome 2, retinitis pigmentosa 74, Bardet-Biedl syndrome (ClinVar).

How common is BBS2 p.Leu128= (c.382T>C) in the general population?

BBS2 p.Leu128= (c.382T>C) is ultra-rare (popmax 0.0329%, mid) (gnomAD).

How is Bardet-Biedl syndrome inherited?

Typically Autosomal recessive, Oligogenic (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.
