Is CTLA4 p.Cys85Ser (c.254G>C) pathogenic?

CTLA4 p.Cys85Ser (c.254G>C) is classified Uncertain significance in CTLA4 (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2022-08-08). AlphaMissense: likely pathogenic (0.9777); Absent from gnomAD v4.1; Associated with autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome due to CTLA4 haploinsufficiency.

What condition is associated with CTLA4 p.Cys85Ser (c.254G>C)?

CTLA4 p.Cys85Ser (c.254G>C) is associated with autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome due to CTLA4 haploinsufficiency (ClinVar).
