Is CPT2 p.Arg23= (c.69G>T) pathogenic?

CPT2 p.Arg23= (c.69G>T) is classified Likely benign in CPT2 (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2025-12-09). Very rare (popmax 0.00555%, afr); Associated with carnitine palmitoyltransferase II deficiency.

What condition is associated with CPT2 p.Arg23= (c.69G>T)?

CPT2 p.Arg23= (c.69G>T) is associated with carnitine palmitoyltransferase II deficiency (ClinVar).

How common is CPT2 p.Arg23= (c.69G>T) in the general population?

CPT2 p.Arg23= (c.69G>T) is very rare (popmax 0.00555%, afr) (gnomAD).

How is Carnitine palmitoyltransferase II 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.
