CD8A p.Gln75Leu

Q: What condition is associated with CD8A p.Gln75Leu (c.224A>T)?

CD8A p.Gln75Leu (c.224A>T) is associated with susceptibility to respiratory infections associated with CD8alpha chain mutation (ClinVar).

Q: How is Susceptibility to respiratory infections associated with CD8alpha chain mutation inherited?

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

ClinVar classifies this uncertain; the computational predictors unanimously lean tolerated — a triage signal, not a reclassification

AlphaMissense carries the ACMG weight for missense; REVEL and SaProt are independent agreement signals.

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.
