Is DDC p.Pro330Thr (c.988C>A) pathogenic?

DDC p.Pro330Thr (c.988C>A) is classified Uncertain significance in DDC (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2022-06-13). AlphaMissense: likely pathogenic (0.6771); Very rare (popmax 0.00167%, amr); Associated with aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase deficiency.

What condition is associated with DDC p.Pro330Thr (c.988C>A)?

DDC p.Pro330Thr (c.988C>A) is associated with aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase deficiency (ClinVar).

How common is DDC p.Pro330Thr (c.988C>A) in the general population?

DDC p.Pro330Thr (c.988C>A) is very rare (popmax 0.00167%, amr) (gnomAD).

How is Aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase deficiency inherited?

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

What do computational predictors say about DDC p.Pro330Thr (c.988C>A)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely pathogenic (score 0.6771) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

ClinVar classifies this uncertain; the computational predictors unanimously lean damaging — a triage signal, not a reclassification

AlphaMissense carries the ACMG weight for missense; REVEL and SaProt are independent agreement signals.

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.
