AlphaMissense: likely pathogenic (0.8739); Absent from gnomAD v4.1; Associated with syndromic X-linked intellectual disability Najm type.

What condition is associated with CASK p.Glu263Lys (c.787G>A)?

CASK p.Glu263Lys (c.787G>A) is associated with syndromic X-linked intellectual disability Najm type, FG syndrome 4 (ClinVar).

How common is CASK p.Glu263Lys (c.787G>A) in the general population?

CASK p.Glu263Lys (c.787G>A) 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.Glu263Lys (c.787G>A)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely pathogenic (score 0.8739) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.
