Is CA5A p.Pro201Thr (c.601C>A) pathogenic?

CA5A p.Pro201Thr (c.601C>A) is classified Uncertain significance in CA5A (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2022-08-08). AlphaMissense: likely benign (0.152); Absent from gnomAD v4.1; Associated with hyperammonemic encephalopathy due to carbonic anhydrase VA deficiency.

What condition is associated with CA5A p.Pro201Thr (c.601C>A)?

CA5A p.Pro201Thr (c.601C>A) is associated with hyperammonemic encephalopathy due to carbonic anhydrase VA deficiency (ClinVar).

How common is CA5A p.Pro201Thr (c.601C>A) in the general population?

CA5A p.Pro201Thr (c.601C>A) is absent from gnomAD v4.1 (gnomAD).
