Is CHRNB2 p.Pro326Leu (c.977C>T) pathogenic?

CHRNB2 p.Pro326Leu (c.977C>T) is classified Uncertain significance in CHRNB2 (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2023-12-12). AlphaMissense: likely pathogenic (0.861); Absent from gnomAD v4.1; Associated with familial sleep-related hypermotor epilepsy.

What condition is associated with CHRNB2 p.Pro326Leu (c.977C>T)?

CHRNB2 p.Pro326Leu (c.977C>T) is associated with familial sleep-related hypermotor epilepsy (ClinVar).

How common is CHRNB2 p.Pro326Leu (c.977C>T) in the general population?

CHRNB2 p.Pro326Leu (c.977C>T) 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.Pro326Leu (c.977C>T)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely pathogenic (score 0.861) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.
