What condition is associated with CARD9 p.Pro52= (c.156C>A)?

CARD9 p.Pro52= (c.156C>A) is associated with predisposition to invasive fungal disease due to CARD9 deficiency (ClinVar).

How common is CARD9 p.Pro52= (c.156C>A) in the general population?

CARD9 p.Pro52= (c.156C>A) is very rare (popmax 0.00167%, amr) (gnomAD).

CARD9 p.Pro52=

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.
