Is CHKB p.Val71Gly (c.212T>G) pathogenic?

CHKB p.Val71Gly (c.212T>G) is classified Uncertain significance in CHKB (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2022-03-02). AlphaMissense: ambiguous (0.4847); Very rare (popmax 0.00134%, afr); Associated with megaconial type congenital muscular dystrophy.

What condition is associated with CHKB p.Val71Gly (c.212T>G)?

CHKB p.Val71Gly (c.212T>G) is associated with megaconial type congenital muscular dystrophy (ClinVar).

How common is CHKB p.Val71Gly (c.212T>G) in the general population?

CHKB p.Val71Gly (c.212T>G) is very rare (popmax 0.00134%, afr) (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.Val71Gly (c.212T>G)?

AlphaMissense predicts ambiguous (score 0.4847) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

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.
