Is DMD p.Lys2736Ter (c.8206A>T) pathogenic?

DMD p.Lys2736Ter (c.8206A>T) is classified Pathogenic/Likely pathogenic in DMD (ClinVar, Multiple submitters, 2 submitters; last evaluated 2022-05-04). Absent from gnomAD v4.1; Associated with Becker muscular dystrophy.

What condition is associated with DMD p.Lys2736Ter (c.8206A>T)?

DMD p.Lys2736Ter (c.8206A>T) is associated with Becker muscular dystrophy, progressive muscular dystrophy (ClinVar).

How common is DMD p.Lys2736Ter (c.8206A>T) in the general population?

DMD p.Lys2736Ter (c.8206A>T) is absent from gnomAD v4.1 (gnomAD).

How is Becker muscular dystrophy inherited?

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

Computational evidence

Protein change
Missense predictors do not apply to this variant type; conservation carries the signal.
Consequence	nonsense (stop-gain)	predicted loss-of-function in a haploinsufficient gene (ClinGen)
NMD	predicted	premature termination codon in exon 55 of 79
REVEL	0.119	moderately benign-leaning
Splicing
SpliceAI	—	not assessed · no allele here is in the release
Constraint at this position
Conservation	phyloP 6.2	GERP 2.5, phastCons 1
Overall
CADD	39.0	PHRED · no single calibrated threshold — expert panels disagree

Predicted loss-of-function is descriptive, not an applied PVS1 code.
