Is CALHM5 p.Val36Ala (c.107T>C) pathogenic?

CALHM5 p.Val36Ala (c.107T>C) is classified Uncertain significance in CALHM5 (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2025-09-10). AlphaMissense: likely benign (0.1068); Very rare (popmax 0.00223%, eas).

How common is CALHM5 p.Val36Ala (c.107T>C) in the general population?

CALHM5 p.Val36Ala (c.107T>C) is very rare (popmax 0.00223%, eas) (gnomAD).

What do computational predictors say about CALHM5 p.Val36Ala (c.107T>C)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely benign (score 0.1068) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

Protein change
AlphaMissense	0.1068	likely benign
REVEL	0.058	moderately benign-leaning
SaProt	LLR -5.84	tolerated
⇒ AlphaMissense, REVEL and SaProt all call this tolerated.

ClinVar classifies this uncertain; the computational predictors unanimously lean tolerated — a triage signal, not a reclassification

AlphaMissense carries the ACMG weight for missense; REVEL and SaProt are independent agreement signals.

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.
