What condition is associated with CPT1A p.Pro523= (c.1569G>A)?

CPT1A p.Pro523= (c.1569G>A) is associated with carnitine palmitoyl transferase 1A deficiency (ClinVar).

How common is CPT1A p.Pro523= (c.1569G>A) in the general population?

CPT1A p.Pro523= (c.1569G>A) is ultra-rare (popmax 0.029%, eas) (gnomAD).

How is Carnitine palmitoyl transferase 1A deficiency inherited?

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

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.
