Is DMD p.Gln1618Pro (c.4853A>C) pathogenic?

DMD p.Gln1618Pro (c.4853A>C) is classified Uncertain significance in DMD (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2022-08-18). AlphaMissense: likely pathogenic (0.6239); Absent from gnomAD v4.1; Associated with Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

What condition is associated with DMD p.Gln1618Pro (c.4853A>C)?

DMD p.Gln1618Pro (c.4853A>C) is associated with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (ClinVar).

How common is DMD p.Gln1618Pro (c.4853A>C) in the general population?

DMD p.Gln1618Pro (c.4853A>C) is absent from gnomAD v4.1 (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.Gln1618Pro (c.4853A>C)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely pathogenic (score 0.6239) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.
