Is DMD p.Arg1763Leu (c.5288G>T) pathogenic?

DMD p.Arg1763Leu (c.5288G>T) is classified Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity in DMD (ClinVar, Conflicting submitters, 7 submitters; last evaluated 2025-12-19). AlphaMissense: likely benign (0.2041); Very rare (popmax 0.0029%, nfe); Associated with Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

What condition is associated with DMD p.Arg1763Leu (c.5288G>T)?

DMD p.Arg1763Leu (c.5288G>T) is associated with Duchenne muscular dystrophy, cardiomyopathy, Becker muscular dystrophy (ClinVar).

How common is DMD p.Arg1763Leu (c.5288G>T) in the general population?

DMD p.Arg1763Leu (c.5288G>T) is very rare (popmax 0.0029%, nfe) (gnomAD).

How is Duchenne muscular dystrophy inherited?

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

What do computational predictors say about DMD p.Arg1763Leu (c.5288G>T)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely benign (score 0.2041) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

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.
