Is COL5A2 p.Arg952Ser (c.2854C>A) pathogenic?

COL5A2 p.Arg952Ser (c.2854C>A) is classified Uncertain significance in COL5A2 (ClinVar, Multiple submitters, 3 submitters; last evaluated 2025-06-22). AlphaMissense: likely pathogenic (0.7833); Very rare (popmax 0.000339%, nfe); Associated with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, classic type, 1.

What condition is associated with COL5A2 p.Arg952Ser (c.2854C>A)?

COL5A2 p.Arg952Ser (c.2854C>A) is associated with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, classic type, 1, familial thoracic aortic aneurysm and aortic dissection (ClinVar).

How common is COL5A2 p.Arg952Ser (c.2854C>A) in the general population?

COL5A2 p.Arg952Ser (c.2854C>A) is very rare (popmax 0.000339%, nfe) (gnomAD).

How is Classical Ehlers-Danlos syndrome inherited?

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

What do computational predictors say about COL5A2 p.Arg952Ser (c.2854C>A)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely pathogenic (score 0.7833) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

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.
