What condition is associated with CHRNB2 p.Phe468Leu (c.1402T>C)?

CHRNB2 p.Phe468Leu (c.1402T>C) is associated with familial sleep-related hypermotor epilepsy (ClinVar).

How common is CHRNB2 p.Phe468Leu (c.1402T>C) in the general population?

CHRNB2 p.Phe468Leu (c.1402T>C) is absent from gnomAD v4.1 (gnomAD).

How is Sleep-related hypermotor epilepsy inherited?

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

What do computational predictors say about CHRNB2 p.Phe468Leu (c.1402T>C)?
