Is CYLD p.Arg19Trp (c.55C>T) pathogenic?

CYLD p.Arg19Trp (c.55C>T) is classified Uncertain significance in CYLD (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2023-10-31). AlphaMissense: likely pathogenic (0.7239); Very rare (popmax 0.00659%, sas); Associated with frontotemporal dementia and/or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis 8.

What condition is associated with CYLD p.Arg19Trp (c.55C>T)?

CYLD p.Arg19Trp (c.55C>T) is associated with frontotemporal dementia and/or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis 8 (ClinVar).

How common is CYLD p.Arg19Trp (c.55C>T) in the general population?

CYLD p.Arg19Trp (c.55C>T) is very rare (popmax 0.00659%, sas) (gnomAD).

What do computational predictors say about CYLD p.Arg19Trp (c.55C>T)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely pathogenic (score 0.7239) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

CYLD p.Arg19Trp

Q: How is Frontotemporal dementia with motor neuron disease 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.
