What condition is associated with CTLA4 p.Ala86= (c.258G>A)?

CTLA4 p.Ala86= (c.258G>A) is associated with autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome due to CTLA4 haploinsufficiency (ClinVar).

How common is CTLA4 p.Ala86= (c.258G>A) in the general population?

CTLA4 p.Ala86= (c.258G>A) is very rare (popmax 0.00534%, afr) (gnomAD).

CTLA4 p.Ala86=

Q: How is Autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome due to CTLA4 haploinsuffiency inherited?

Typically Autosomal dominant (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.
