What condition is associated with CBLIF p.Arg104Ter (c.310C>T)?

CBLIF p.Arg104Ter (c.310C>T) is associated with hereditary intrinsic factor deficiency (ClinVar).

How common is CBLIF p.Arg104Ter (c.310C>T) in the general population?

CBLIF p.Arg104Ter (c.310C>T) is very rare (popmax 0.000339%, nfe) (gnomAD).

How is Congenital intrinsic factor deficiency inherited?

Typically Autosomal recessive, Not applicable (Orphanet). A genetic counselor can assess individual risk for a family.

Predicted loss-of-function is descriptive, not an applied PVS1 code.

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.
