Is DMD p.Asn1859= (c.5577T>C) pathogenic?

DMD p.Asn1859= (c.5577T>C) is classified Likely benign in DMD (ClinVar, Multiple submitters, 2 submitters; last evaluated 2025-06-10). Very rare (popmax 0.00656%, amr); Associated with Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

What condition is associated with DMD p.Asn1859= (c.5577T>C)?

DMD p.Asn1859= (c.5577T>C) is associated with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (ClinVar).

How common is DMD p.Asn1859= (c.5577T>C) in the general population?

DMD p.Asn1859= (c.5577T>C) is very rare (popmax 0.00656%, amr) (gnomAD).

How is Duchenne muscular dystrophy inherited?

Typically X-linked 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.
