Is CD3E p.Ala108Glu (c.323C>A) pathogenic?

CD3E p.Ala108Glu (c.323C>A) is classified Uncertain significance in CD3E (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2021-09-24). AlphaMissense: likely benign (0.2401); Very rare (popmax 0.005%, amr); Associated with immunodeficiency 18.

What condition is associated with CD3E p.Ala108Glu (c.323C>A)?

CD3E p.Ala108Glu (c.323C>A) is associated with immunodeficiency 18 (ClinVar).

How common is CD3E p.Ala108Glu (c.323C>A) in the general population?

CD3E p.Ala108Glu (c.323C>A) is very rare (popmax 0.005%, amr) (gnomAD).

What do computational predictors say about CD3E p.Ala108Glu (c.323C>A)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely benign (score 0.2401) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

CD3E p.Ala108Glu

Q: How is T-B+ severe combined immunodeficiency due to CD3delta/CD3epsilon/CD3zeta inherited?

Typically Autosomal recessive (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.
