What condition is associated with CASK p.Val854Ala (c.2561T>C)?

CASK p.Val854Ala (c.2561T>C) is associated with syndromic X-linked intellectual disability Najm type, FG syndrome 4 (ClinVar).

How common is CASK p.Val854Ala (c.2561T>C) in the general population?

CASK p.Val854Ala (c.2561T>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.Val854Ala (c.2561T>C)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely pathogenic (score 0.9282) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.
