Is DLD p.Ala425= (c.1275T>C) pathogenic?

DLD p.Ala425= (c.1275T>C) is classified Likely benign in DLD (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2023-12-07). Very rare (popmax 0.005%, amr); Associated with pyruvate dehydrogenase E3 deficiency.

What condition is associated with DLD p.Ala425= (c.1275T>C)?

DLD p.Ala425= (c.1275T>C) is associated with pyruvate dehydrogenase E3 deficiency (ClinVar).

How common is DLD p.Ala425= (c.1275T>C) in the general population?

DLD p.Ala425= (c.1275T>C) is very rare (popmax 0.005%, amr) (gnomAD).

How is Maple syrup urine disease 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.
