Is CASK p.Glu189Gln (c.565G>C) pathogenic?

CASK p.Glu189Gln (c.565G>C) is classified Uncertain significance in CASK (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2021-10-01). AlphaMissense: likely pathogenic (0.9949); Absent from gnomAD v4.1; Associated with syndromic X-linked intellectual disability Najm type.

What condition is associated with CASK p.Glu189Gln (c.565G>C)?

CASK p.Glu189Gln (c.565G>C) is associated with syndromic X-linked intellectual disability Najm type (ClinVar).

How common is CASK p.Glu189Gln (c.565G>C) in the general population?

CASK p.Glu189Gln (c.565G>C) is absent from gnomAD v4.1 (gnomAD).

How is X-linked intellectual disability, Najm type inherited?

Typically X-linked dominant (Orphanet). A genetic counselor can assess individual risk for a family.

What do computational predictors say about CASK p.Glu189Gln (c.565G>C)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely pathogenic (score 0.9949) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

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

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