Is BBS7 p.Ile573Val (c.1717A>G) pathogenic?

BBS7 p.Ile573Val (c.1717A>G) is classified Uncertain significance in BBS7 (ClinVar, Multiple submitters, 2 submitters; last evaluated 2024-03-12). AlphaMissense: likely benign (0.0893); Very rare (popmax 0.00672%, eas); Associated with Bardet-Biedl syndrome.

What condition is associated with BBS7 p.Ile573Val (c.1717A>G)?

BBS7 p.Ile573Val (c.1717A>G) is associated with Bardet-Biedl syndrome, Bardet-Biedl syndrome 7 (ClinVar).

How common is BBS7 p.Ile573Val (c.1717A>G) in the general population?

BBS7 p.Ile573Val (c.1717A>G) is very rare (popmax 0.00672%, eas) (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.
