Is CDAN1 p.Ala536Pro (c.1606G>C) pathogenic?

CDAN1 p.Ala536Pro (c.1606G>C) is classified Uncertain significance in CDAN1 (ClinVar, Multiple submitters, 2 submitters; last evaluated 2024-01-29). AlphaMissense: likely benign (0.1289); Ultra-rare (popmax 0.0133%, afr); Associated with anemia, congenital dyserythropoietic, type 1a.

What condition is associated with CDAN1 p.Ala536Pro (c.1606G>C)?

CDAN1 p.Ala536Pro (c.1606G>C) is associated with anemia, congenital dyserythropoietic, type 1a (ClinVar).

How common is CDAN1 p.Ala536Pro (c.1606G>C) in the general population?

CDAN1 p.Ala536Pro (c.1606G>C) is ultra-rare (popmax 0.0133%, afr) (gnomAD).

How is Congenital dyserythropoietic anemia type I inherited?

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

What do computational predictors say about CDAN1 p.Ala536Pro (c.1606G>C)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely benign (score 0.1289) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

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.
