Is CALM3 p.Glu48= (c.144G>A) pathogenic?

CALM3 p.Glu48= (c.144G>A) is classified Likely benign in CALM3 (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2021-04-16). Very rare (popmax 0.000254%, nfe); Associated with long QT syndrome 1.

What condition is associated with CALM3 p.Glu48= (c.144G>A)?

CALM3 p.Glu48= (c.144G>A) is associated with long QT syndrome 1 (ClinVar).

How common is CALM3 p.Glu48= (c.144G>A) in the general population?

CALM3 p.Glu48= (c.144G>A) is very rare (popmax 0.000254%, nfe) (gnomAD).

How is Romano-Ward syndrome inherited?

Typically Autosomal dominant, 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.
