AlphaMissense: likely benign (0.0747); Ultra-rare (popmax 0.0226%, afr); Associated with hyperammonemic encephalopathy due to carbonic anhydrase VA deficiency.

What condition is associated with CA5A p.Ile95Val (c.283A>G)?

CA5A p.Ile95Val (c.283A>G) is associated with hyperammonemic encephalopathy due to carbonic anhydrase VA deficiency (ClinVar).

How common is CA5A p.Ile95Val (c.283A>G) in the general population?

CA5A p.Ile95Val (c.283A>G) is ultra-rare (popmax 0.0226%, afr) (gnomAD).

What do computational predictors say about CA5A p.Ile95Val (c.283A>G)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely benign (score 0.0747) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

CA5A p.Ile95Val

Q: How is Hyperammonemic encephalopathy due to carbonic anhydrase VA deficiency inherited?

Typically Autosomal recessive (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.
