Is CEP83 p.Leu158= (c.474C>G) pathogenic?

CEP83 p.Leu158= (c.474C>G) is classified Likely benign in CEP83 (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2025-10-05). Ultra-rare (popmax 0.0174%, mid); Associated with nephronophthisis 18.

What condition is associated with CEP83 p.Leu158= (c.474C>G)?

CEP83 p.Leu158= (c.474C>G) is associated with nephronophthisis 18 (ClinVar).

How common is CEP83 p.Leu158= (c.474C>G) in the general population?

CEP83 p.Leu158= (c.474C>G) is ultra-rare (popmax 0.0174%, mid) (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.
