What condition is associated with CHD2 p.Gly779= (c.2337A>G)?

CHD2 p.Gly779= (c.2337A>G) is associated with developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 94 (ClinVar).

How common is CHD2 p.Gly779= (c.2337A>G) in the general population?

CHD2 p.Gly779= (c.2337A>G) is low-frequency (popmax 1.54%, eas) (gnomAD).

How is Lennox-Gastaut syndrome inherited?

Typically Autosomal dominant, Multigenic/multifactorial (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.
