Is BMPR1A p.Ala71= (c.213T>C) pathogenic?

BMPR1A p.Ala71= (c.213T>C) is classified Benign/Likely benign in BMPR1A (ClinVar, Multiple submitters, 4 submitters; last evaluated 2025-08-22). Very rare (popmax 0.0022%, sas); Associated with juvenile polyposis syndrome.

What condition is associated with BMPR1A p.Ala71= (c.213T>C)?

BMPR1A p.Ala71= (c.213T>C) is associated with juvenile polyposis syndrome, hereditary neoplastic syndrome (ClinVar).

How common is BMPR1A p.Ala71= (c.213T>C) in the general population?

BMPR1A p.Ala71= (c.213T>C) is very rare (popmax 0.0022%, sas) (gnomAD).

How is Juvenile polyposis syndrome 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.
