Is CDK4 p.Leu34= (c.102C>G) pathogenic?

CDK4 p.Leu34= (c.102C>G) is classified Likely benign in CDK4 (ClinVar, Multiple submitters, 3 submitters; last evaluated 2025-03-04). Absent from gnomAD v4.1; Associated with familial melanoma.

What condition is associated with CDK4 p.Leu34= (c.102C>G)?

CDK4 p.Leu34= (c.102C>G) is associated with familial melanoma, hereditary neoplastic syndrome (ClinVar).

How common is CDK4 p.Leu34= (c.102C>G) in the general population?

CDK4 p.Leu34= (c.102C>G) is absent from gnomAD v4.1 (gnomAD).

How is Familial melanoma inherited?

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