AlphaMissense predicts likely pathogenic (score 0.5981) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

CARD9 p.Arg373Pro

Q: How is Predisposition to invasive fungal disease due to CARD9 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.
