Is DHTKD1 p.Leu503Pro (c.1508T>C) pathogenic?

DHTKD1 p.Leu503Pro (c.1508T>C) is classified Uncertain significance in DHTKD1 (ClinVar, Multiple submitters, 2 submitters; last evaluated 2021-12-29). AlphaMissense: likely benign (0.0527); Very rare (popmax 8.47e-05%, nfe); Associated with 2-aminoadipic 2-oxoadipic aciduria.

What condition is associated with DHTKD1 p.Leu503Pro (c.1508T>C)?

DHTKD1 p.Leu503Pro (c.1508T>C) is associated with 2-aminoadipic 2-oxoadipic aciduria (ClinVar).

How common is DHTKD1 p.Leu503Pro (c.1508T>C) in the general population?

DHTKD1 p.Leu503Pro (c.1508T>C) is very rare (popmax 8.47e-05%, nfe) (gnomAD).

How is 2-aminoadipic 2-oxoadipic aciduria inherited?

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

What do computational predictors say about DHTKD1 p.Leu503Pro (c.1508T>C)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely benign (score 0.0527) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

Remaining individuals shows a higher raw frequency than the grpmax group above it. gnomAD excludes bottlenecked groups — Finnish, Ashkenazi Jewish, Amish and “Remaining individuals” — from grpmax, because founder effects make their frequencies unrepresentative for filtering. The table is sorted by frequency, so an excluded group can sit above the grpmax row.

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.
