Is CYBB p.Ala224Thr (c.670G>A) pathogenic?

CYBB p.Ala224Thr (c.670G>A) is classified Likely benign in CYBB (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2023-05-17). AlphaMissense: likely benign (0.1564); Very rare (popmax 0.00218%, amr); Associated with granulomatous disease, chronic, X-linked.

What condition is associated with CYBB p.Ala224Thr (c.670G>A)?

CYBB p.Ala224Thr (c.670G>A) is associated with granulomatous disease, chronic, X-linked (ClinVar).

How common is CYBB p.Ala224Thr (c.670G>A) in the general population?

CYBB p.Ala224Thr (c.670G>A) is very rare (popmax 0.00218%, amr) (gnomAD).

How is Chronic granulomatous disease inherited?

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

What do computational predictors say about CYBB p.Ala224Thr (c.670G>A)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely benign (score 0.1564) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

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.
