Is CDKN2A p.Ala30Thr (c.88G>A) pathogenic?

CDKN2A p.Ala30Thr (c.88G>A) is classified Uncertain significance in CDKN2A (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2025-02-23). AlphaMissense: likely benign (0.1066); Very rare (popmax 0.00017%, nfe); Associated with familial melanoma.

What condition is associated with CDKN2A p.Ala30Thr (c.88G>A)?

CDKN2A p.Ala30Thr (c.88G>A) is associated with familial melanoma (ClinVar).

How common is CDKN2A p.Ala30Thr (c.88G>A) in the general population?

CDKN2A p.Ala30Thr (c.88G>A) is very rare (popmax 0.00017%, nfe) (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 CDKN2A p.Ala30Thr (c.88G>A)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely benign (score 0.1066) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

Computational evidence

Protein change

SaProt	LLR -7.90	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.

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.
