Is CDKN2A p.Val24= (c.72G>A) pathogenic?

CDKN2A p.Val24= (c.72G>A) is classified Benign/Likely benign in CDKN2A (ClinVar, Multiple submitters, 3 submitters; last evaluated 2025-08-12). Very rare (popmax 0.00017%, nfe); Associated with familial melanoma.

What condition is associated with CDKN2A p.Val24= (c.72G>A)?

CDKN2A p.Val24= (c.72G>A) is associated with familial melanoma, melanoma-pancreatic cancer syndrome, hereditary neoplastic syndrome (ClinVar).

How common is CDKN2A p.Val24= (c.72G>A) in the general population?

CDKN2A p.Val24= (c.72G>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.

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.
