Is CCNF p.Gly161Arg (c.481G>A) pathogenic?

CCNF p.Gly161Arg (c.481G>A) is classified Uncertain significance in CCNF (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2021-05-06). AlphaMissense: likely pathogenic (0.9029); Very rare (popmax 0.00908%, nfe); Associated with frontotemporal dementia and/or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis 5.

What condition is associated with CCNF p.Gly161Arg (c.481G>A)?

CCNF p.Gly161Arg (c.481G>A) is associated with frontotemporal dementia and/or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis 5 (ClinVar).

How common is CCNF p.Gly161Arg (c.481G>A) in the general population?

CCNF p.Gly161Arg (c.481G>A) is very rare (popmax 0.00908%, nfe) (gnomAD).

What do computational predictors say about CCNF p.Gly161Arg (c.481G>A)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely pathogenic (score 0.9029) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

CCNF p.Gly161Arg

Q: How is Frontotemporal dementia with motor neuron disease inherited?

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

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.
