Is CHKB p.Arg36Trp (c.106C>T) pathogenic?

CHKB p.Arg36Trp (c.106C>T) is classified Uncertain significance in CHKB (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2023-05-15). AlphaMissense: likely benign (0.13); Absent from gnomAD v4.1; Associated with megaconial type congenital muscular dystrophy.

What condition is associated with CHKB p.Arg36Trp (c.106C>T)?

CHKB p.Arg36Trp (c.106C>T) is associated with megaconial type congenital muscular dystrophy (ClinVar).

How common is CHKB p.Arg36Trp (c.106C>T) in the general population?

CHKB p.Arg36Trp (c.106C>T) is absent from gnomAD v4.1 (gnomAD).

How is Megaconial congenital muscular dystrophy inherited?

Typically Autosomal recessive (Orphanet). A genetic counselor can assess individual risk for a family.

What do computational predictors say about CHKB p.Arg36Trp (c.106C>T)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely benign (score 0.13) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.
