Is CDCA7 p.Met285Leu (c.853A>T) pathogenic?

CDCA7 p.Met285Leu (c.853A>T) is classified Uncertain significance in CDCA7 (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2022-02-10). AlphaMissense: likely benign (0.081); Very rare (popmax 0.000426%, nfe).

How common is CDCA7 p.Met285Leu (c.853A>T) in the general population?

CDCA7 p.Met285Leu (c.853A>T) is very rare (popmax 0.000426%, nfe) (gnomAD).

What do computational predictors say about CDCA7 p.Met285Leu (c.853A>T)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely benign (score 0.081) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

Protein change
AlphaMissense	0.081	likely benign
REVEL	0.055	moderately benign-leaning
SaProt	LLR -3.64	tolerated
⇒ AlphaMissense, REVEL and SaProt all call this tolerated.

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.

⚠ Isoform check: AlphaMissense numbered on a different transcript (AM M206L vs ClinVar M285L) — verify the residue.

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.
