Is CDK4 p.Phe204Ser (c.611T>C) pathogenic?

CDK4 p.Phe204Ser (c.611T>C) is classified Uncertain significance in CDK4 (ClinVar, Multiple submitters, 3 submitters; last evaluated 2025-10-12). AlphaMissense: likely pathogenic (0.9582); Very rare (popmax 6.84e-05%); Associated with familial melanoma.

What condition is associated with CDK4 p.Phe204Ser (c.611T>C)?

CDK4 p.Phe204Ser (c.611T>C) is associated with familial melanoma, melanoma, cutaneous malignant, susceptibility to, 3, hereditary neoplastic syndrome (ClinVar).

How common is CDK4 p.Phe204Ser (c.611T>C) in the general population?

CDK4 p.Phe204Ser (c.611T>C) is very rare (popmax 6.84e-05%) (gnomAD).

How is Familial melanoma inherited?

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

What do computational predictors say about CDK4 p.Phe204Ser (c.611T>C)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely pathogenic (score 0.9582) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

ClinVar classifies this uncertain; the computational predictors unanimously lean damaging — 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.
