Is DLD p.Ser114= (c.342C>T) pathogenic?

DLD p.Ser114= (c.342C>T) is classified Likely benign in DLD (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2024-04-15). Very rare (popmax 0.0044%, sas); Associated with pyruvate dehydrogenase E3 deficiency.

What condition is associated with DLD p.Ser114= (c.342C>T)?

DLD p.Ser114= (c.342C>T) is associated with pyruvate dehydrogenase E3 deficiency (ClinVar).

How common is DLD p.Ser114= (c.342C>T) in the general population?

DLD p.Ser114= (c.342C>T) is very rare (popmax 0.0044%, sas) (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.
