Is CNTNAP1 p.Pro579Ser (c.1735C>T) pathogenic?

CNTNAP1 p.Pro579Ser (c.1735C>T) is classified Uncertain significance in CNTNAP1 (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2022-05-18). AlphaMissense: likely benign (0.1567); Very rare (popmax 0.00167%, amr).

How common is CNTNAP1 p.Pro579Ser (c.1735C>T) in the general population?

CNTNAP1 p.Pro579Ser (c.1735C>T) is very rare (popmax 0.00167%, amr) (gnomAD).

What do computational predictors say about CNTNAP1 p.Pro579Ser (c.1735C>T)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely benign (score 0.1567) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

Protein change
AlphaMissense	0.1567	likely benign
REVEL	0.098	moderately benign-leaning
SaProt	LLR -1.82	tolerated
⇒ AlphaMissense, REVEL and SaProt all call this tolerated.

ClinVar classifies this uncertain; the computational predictors unanimously lean tolerated — a triage signal, not a reclassification

AlphaMissense carries the ACMG weight for missense; REVEL and SaProt are independent agreement signals.

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.
