Is CAPS2 p.Val8Gly (c.23T>G) pathogenic?

CAPS2 p.Val8Gly (c.23T>G) is classified Uncertain significance in CAPS2 (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2025-01-17). AlphaMissense: likely benign (0.1835); Very rare (popmax 0.00412%, nfe).

How common is CAPS2 p.Val8Gly (c.23T>G) in the general population?

CAPS2 p.Val8Gly (c.23T>G) is very rare (popmax 0.00412%, nfe) (gnomAD).

What do computational predictors say about CAPS2 p.Val8Gly (c.23T>G)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely benign (score 0.1835) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

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.

⚠ Isoform check: AlphaMissense numbered on a different transcript (AM V27G vs ClinVar V8G) — verify the residue.

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.
