CHD2 p.Arg1806Trp (c.5416A>T) is very rare (popmax 0.000254%, nfe) (gnomAD).

How is Lennox-Gastaut syndrome inherited?

Typically Autosomal dominant, Multigenic/multifactorial (Orphanet). A genetic counselor can assess individual risk for a family.

What do computational predictors say about CHD2 p.Arg1806Trp (c.5416A>T)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely benign (score 0.2535) — 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.
