Is COLQ p.Phe339Ser (c.1016T>C) pathogenic?

COLQ p.Phe339Ser (c.1016T>C) is classified Uncertain significance in COLQ (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2019-11-03). AlphaMissense: likely pathogenic (0.9892); Very rare (popmax 0.0011%, sas); Associated with congenital myasthenic syndrome 5.

What condition is associated with COLQ p.Phe339Ser (c.1016T>C)?

COLQ p.Phe339Ser (c.1016T>C) is associated with congenital myasthenic syndrome 5 (ClinVar).

How common is COLQ p.Phe339Ser (c.1016T>C) in the general population?

COLQ p.Phe339Ser (c.1016T>C) is very rare (popmax 0.0011%, sas) (gnomAD).

How is Congenital myasthenic syndrome inherited?

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

What do computational predictors say about COLQ p.Phe339Ser (c.1016T>C)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely pathogenic (score 0.9892) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

ClinVar classifies this uncertain; the computational predictors unanimously lean damaging — 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.
