What condition is associated with CEP83 p.Glu356fs (c.1067_1068insTA)?

CEP83 p.Glu356fs (c.1067_1068insTA) is associated with nephronophthisis 18 (ClinVar).

How common is CEP83 p.Glu356fs (c.1067_1068insTA) in the general population?

CEP83 p.Glu356fs (c.1067_1068insTA) is very rare (popmax 0.00501%, amr) (gnomAD).

How is Nephronophthisis inherited?

Typically Autosomal recessive (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.
