What condition is associated with DDHD2 p.Val483Ala (c.1448T>C)?

DDHD2 p.Val483Ala (c.1448T>C) is associated with hereditary spastic paraplegia 54 (ClinVar).

How common is DDHD2 p.Val483Ala (c.1448T>C) in the general population?

DDHD2 p.Val483Ala (c.1448T>C) is very rare (popmax 0.000509%, nfe) (gnomAD).

How is Autosomal recessive spastic paraplegia type 54 inherited?

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

What do computational predictors say about DDHD2 p.Val483Ala (c.1448T>C)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely benign (score 0.1683) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

ClinVar classifies this uncertain; the computational predictors unanimously lean tolerated — 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.
