Is CFTR p.Pro798Arg (c.2393C>G) pathogenic?

CFTR p.Pro798Arg (c.2393C>G) is classified Uncertain significance in CFTR (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2021-07-28). AlphaMissense: likely benign (0.1433); Very rare (popmax 0.00279%, afr); Associated with cystic fibrosis.

What condition is associated with CFTR p.Pro798Arg (c.2393C>G)?

CFTR p.Pro798Arg (c.2393C>G) is associated with cystic fibrosis (ClinVar).

How common is CFTR p.Pro798Arg (c.2393C>G) in the general population?

CFTR p.Pro798Arg (c.2393C>G) is very rare (popmax 0.00279%, afr) (gnomAD).

How is Cystic fibrosis inherited?

Typically Autosomal recessive (Orphanet). A genetic counselor can assess individual risk for a family.

What do computational predictors say about CFTR p.Pro798Arg (c.2393C>G)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely benign (score 0.1433) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

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.
