Is DDB2 p.Thr180= (c.540A>G) pathogenic?

DDB2 p.Thr180= (c.540A>G) is classified Likely benign in DDB2 (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2021-03-09). Very rare (popmax 0.0011%, sas); Associated with xeroderma pigmentosum.

What condition is associated with DDB2 p.Thr180= (c.540A>G)?

DDB2 p.Thr180= (c.540A>G) is associated with xeroderma pigmentosum (ClinVar).

How common is DDB2 p.Thr180= (c.540A>G) in the general population?

DDB2 p.Thr180= (c.540A>G) is very rare (popmax 0.0011%, sas) (gnomAD).

How is Xeroderma pigmentosum 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.
