What condition is associated with COPA p.Cys585Tyr (c.1754G>A)?

COPA p.Cys585Tyr (c.1754G>A) is associated with autoimmune interstitial lung disease-arthritis syndrome (ClinVar).

COPA p.Cys585Tyr (c.1754G>A) is very rare (popmax 0.00534%, afr) (gnomAD).

What do computational predictors say about COPA p.Cys585Tyr (c.1754G>A)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely pathogenic (score 0.858) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

COPA p.Cys585Tyr

Q: How is Autoimmune interstitial lung disease-arthritis syndrome inherited?

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

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.
