Is CNTN1 p.Ala528= (c.1584G>A) pathogenic?

CNTN1 p.Ala528= (c.1584G>A) is classified Likely benign in CNTN1 (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2024-04-25). Very rare (popmax 0.00267%, afr); Associated with Compton-North congenital myopathy.

What condition is associated with CNTN1 p.Ala528= (c.1584G>A)?

CNTN1 p.Ala528= (c.1584G>A) is associated with Compton-North congenital myopathy (ClinVar).

How common is CNTN1 p.Ala528= (c.1584G>A) in the general population?

CNTN1 p.Ala528= (c.1584G>A) is very rare (popmax 0.00267%, afr) (gnomAD).

How is Congenital lethal myopathy, Compton-North type 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.
