Is CRX p.Pro240= (c.720C>G) pathogenic?

CRX p.Pro240= (c.720C>G) is classified Likely benign in CRX (ClinVar, Multiple submitters, 2 submitters; last evaluated 2025-01-06). Very rare (popmax 0.00347%, nfe); Associated with Leber congenital amaurosis 7.

What condition is associated with CRX p.Pro240= (c.720C>G)?

CRX p.Pro240= (c.720C>G) is associated with Leber congenital amaurosis 7, cone-rod dystrophy 2 (ClinVar).

How common is CRX p.Pro240= (c.720C>G) in the general population?

CRX p.Pro240= (c.720C>G) is very rare (popmax 0.00347%, nfe) (gnomAD).

How is Leber congenital amaurosis inherited?

Typically Autosomal dominant, 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.
