Is CHD2 p.Ser68Arg (c.204C>G) pathogenic?

CHD2 p.Ser68Arg (c.204C>G) is classified Uncertain significance in CHD2 (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2024-02-17). AlphaMissense: likely pathogenic (0.5711); Absent from gnomAD v4.1; Associated with developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 94.

What condition is associated with CHD2 p.Ser68Arg (c.204C>G)?

CHD2 p.Ser68Arg (c.204C>G) is associated with developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 94 (ClinVar).

How common is CHD2 p.Ser68Arg (c.204C>G) in the general population?

CHD2 p.Ser68Arg (c.204C>G) is absent from gnomAD v4.1 (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.Ser68Arg (c.204C>G)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely pathogenic (score 0.5711) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.
