Is COL4A4 p.Ala1567Val (c.4700C>T) pathogenic?

COL4A4 p.Ala1567Val (c.4700C>T) is classified Uncertain significance in COL4A4 (ClinVar, Multiple submitters, 2 submitters; last evaluated 2026-01-20). AlphaMissense: likely benign (0.095); Very rare (popmax 0.00267%, afr); Associated with autosomal recessive Alport syndrome.

What condition is associated with COL4A4 p.Ala1567Val (c.4700C>T)?

COL4A4 p.Ala1567Val (c.4700C>T) is associated with autosomal recessive Alport syndrome, hematuria, benign familial, 1 (ClinVar).

How common is COL4A4 p.Ala1567Val (c.4700C>T) in the general population?

COL4A4 p.Ala1567Val (c.4700C>T) is very rare (popmax 0.00267%, afr) (gnomAD).

How is Alport syndrome inherited?

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

What do computational predictors say about COL4A4 p.Ala1567Val (c.4700C>T)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely benign (score 0.095) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

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.
