Is COL4A1 p.Pro710= (c.2130G>A) pathogenic?

COL4A1 p.Pro710= (c.2130G>A) is classified Benign in COL4A1 (ClinVar, Multiple submitters, 11 submitters; last evaluated 2026-02-04). Common (popmax 38%, amr) — too common for a highly-penetrant pathogenic allele; Associated with brain small vessel disease 1 with or without ocular anomalies.

What condition is associated with COL4A1 p.Pro710= (c.2130G>A)?

COL4A1 p.Pro710= (c.2130G>A) is associated with brain small vessel disease 1 with or without ocular anomalies, autosomal dominant familial hematuria-retinal arteriolar tortuosity-contractures syndrome (ClinVar).

COL4A1 p.Pro710=

Q: How common is COL4A1 p.Pro710= (c.2130G>A) in the general population?

COL4A1 p.Pro710= (c.2130G>A) is common (popmax 38%, amr) — too common for a highly-penetrant pathogenic allele (gnomAD).

Q: How is COL4A1/2-related familial vascular leukoencephalopathy inherited?

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

Amish shows a higher raw frequency than the grpmax group above it. gnomAD excludes bottlenecked groups — Finnish, Ashkenazi Jewish, Amish and “Remaining individuals” — from grpmax, because founder effects make their frequencies unrepresentative for filtering. The table is sorted by frequency, so an excluded group can sit above the grpmax row.

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.
