What condition is associated with CHD2 p.Ser29= (c.87G>A)?

CHD2 p.Ser29= (c.87G>A) is associated with developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 94 (ClinVar).

How common is CHD2 p.Ser29= (c.87G>A) in the general population?

CHD2 p.Ser29= (c.87G>A) is ultra-rare (popmax 0.0231%, sas) (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.
