AlphaMissense: likely benign (0.2832); Ultra-rare (popmax 0.0406%, sas); Associated with developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 94.

What condition is associated with CHD2 p.Glu1500Asp (c.4500A>T)?

CHD2 p.Glu1500Asp (c.4500A>T) is associated with developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 94 (ClinVar).

How common is CHD2 p.Glu1500Asp (c.4500A>T) in the general population?

CHD2 p.Glu1500Asp (c.4500A>T) is ultra-rare (popmax 0.0406%, sas) (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.Glu1500Asp (c.4500A>T)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely benign (score 0.2832) — 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.
