Is CHD2 p.Ser1595Phe (c.4784C>T) pathogenic?

CHD2 p.Ser1595Phe (c.4784C>T) is classified Uncertain significance in CHD2 (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2023-12-13). AlphaMissense: likely benign (0.1509); Very rare (popmax 0.00133%, afr); Associated with developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 94.

What condition is associated with CHD2 p.Ser1595Phe (c.4784C>T)?

CHD2 p.Ser1595Phe (c.4784C>T) is associated with developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 94 (ClinVar).

How common is CHD2 p.Ser1595Phe (c.4784C>T) in the general population?

CHD2 p.Ser1595Phe (c.4784C>T) is very rare (popmax 0.00133%, afr) (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.Ser1595Phe (c.4784C>T)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely benign (score 0.1509) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

Computational evidence

Protein change
AlphaMissense	0.1509	likely benign
REVEL	0.345	indeterminate
SaProt	LLR -9.35	tolerated
⇒ AlphaMissense and SaProt both call this tolerated; REVEL is indeterminate.

Overall

ClinVar classifies this uncertain; the computational predictors unanimously lean tolerated — a triage signal, not a reclassification

AlphaMissense carries the ACMG weight for missense; REVEL and SaProt are independent agreement signals.

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.
