How common is DAG1 p.Ser568= (c.1704C>T) in the general population?

DAG1 p.Ser568= (c.1704C>T) is very rare (popmax 8.48e-05%, nfe) (gnomAD).

How is Walker-Warburg syndrome inherited?

Typically 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.
