How common is BICD2 p.Ala664= (c.1992C>T) in the general population?

BICD2 p.Ala664= (c.1992C>T) is very rare (popmax 0.00329%, sas) (gnomAD).

BICD2 p.Ala664=

Q: What condition is associated with BICD2 p.Ala664= (c.1992C>T)?

BICD2 p.Ala664= (c.1992C>T) is associated with autosomal dominant childhood-onset proximal spinal muscular atrophy with contractures (ClinVar).

Q: How is Autosomal dominant childhood-onset proximal spinal muscular atrophy inherited?

Typically Autosomal dominant (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.
