Is CHST3 p.Ala287= (c.861C>G) pathogenic?

CHST3 p.Ala287= (c.861C>G) is classified Likely benign in CHST3 (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2023-10-03). Very rare (popmax 0.00674%, afr); Associated with spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia with congenital joint dislocations.

What condition is associated with CHST3 p.Ala287= (c.861C>G)?

CHST3 p.Ala287= (c.861C>G) is associated with spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia with congenital joint dislocations (ClinVar).

How common is CHST3 p.Ala287= (c.861C>G) in the general population?

CHST3 p.Ala287= (c.861C>G) is very rare (popmax 0.00674%, afr) (gnomAD).

How is CHST3-related skeletal dysplasia inherited?

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

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.
