Is CDKN2A p.Gly45Ala (c.134G>C) pathogenic?

CDKN2A p.Gly45Ala (c.134G>C) is classified Uncertain significance in CDKN2A (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2020-02-26). AlphaMissense: likely pathogenic (0.5934); Absent from gnomAD v4.1; Associated with familial melanoma.

What condition is associated with CDKN2A p.Gly45Ala (c.134G>C)?

CDKN2A p.Gly45Ala (c.134G>C) is associated with familial melanoma (ClinVar).

How common is CDKN2A p.Gly45Ala (c.134G>C) in the general population?

CDKN2A p.Gly45Ala (c.134G>C) 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.

What do computational predictors say about CDKN2A p.Gly45Ala (c.134G>C)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely pathogenic (score 0.5934) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.
