Is DDC p.Pro35= (c.105C>T) pathogenic?

DDC p.Pro35= (c.105C>T) is classified Likely benign in DDC (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2025-07-14). Very rare (popmax 0.00533%, afr); Associated with aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase deficiency.

What condition is associated with DDC p.Pro35= (c.105C>T)?

DDC p.Pro35= (c.105C>T) is associated with aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase deficiency (ClinVar).

How common is DDC p.Pro35= (c.105C>T) in the general population?

DDC p.Pro35= (c.105C>T) is very rare (popmax 0.00533%, afr) (gnomAD).

How is Aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase deficiency 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.
