Is COL2A1 p.Val983= (c.2949C>T) pathogenic?

COL2A1 p.Val983= (c.2949C>T) is classified Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity in COL2A1 (ClinVar, Conflicting submitters, 7 submitters; last evaluated 2026-04-01). Ultra-rare (popmax 0.0165%, mid); Associated with Stickler syndrome type 1.

What condition is associated with COL2A1 p.Val983= (c.2949C>T)?

COL2A1 p.Val983= (c.2949C>T) is associated with Stickler syndrome type 1, type 2 collagenopathy (ClinVar).

How common is COL2A1 p.Val983= (c.2949C>T) in the general population?

COL2A1 p.Val983= (c.2949C>T) is ultra-rare (popmax 0.0165%, mid) (gnomAD).

How is Stickler syndrome inherited?

Typically Autosomal dominant, 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.
