Is COL5A2 p.Ser97= (c.291A>G) pathogenic?

COL5A2 p.Ser97= (c.291A>G) is classified Likely benign in COL5A2 (ClinVar, Multiple submitters, 2 submitters; last evaluated 2024-11-21). Very rare (popmax 0.000593%, nfe); Associated with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, classic type, 1.

What condition is associated with COL5A2 p.Ser97= (c.291A>G)?

COL5A2 p.Ser97= (c.291A>G) is associated with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, classic type, 1, familial thoracic aortic aneurysm and aortic dissection (ClinVar).

How common is COL5A2 p.Ser97= (c.291A>G) in the general population?

COL5A2 p.Ser97= (c.291A>G) is very rare (popmax 0.000593%, nfe) (gnomAD).

How is Classical Ehlers-Danlos syndrome inherited?

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

Finnish 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.
