COPA p.Gln1199Arg (c.3596A>G) is ultra-rare (popmax 0.0334%, eas) (gnomAD).

What do computational predictors say about COPA p.Gln1199Arg (c.3596A>G)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely benign (score 0.1207) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

COPA p.Gln1199Arg

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 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.
