AlphaMissense predicts ambiguous (score 0.4511) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

CBS p.Val178Met

Q: What condition is associated with CBS p.Val178Met (c.532G>A)?

CBS p.Val178Met (c.532G>A) is associated with familial thoracic aortic aneurysm and aortic dissection, classic homocystinuria (ClinVar).

Q: How is Familial thoracic aortic aneurysm and aortic dissection inherited?

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