Is DNAJB2 p.Pro32= (c.96A>G) pathogenic?

DNAJB2 p.Pro32= (c.96A>G) is classified Likely benign in DNAJB2 (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2022-11-01). Very rare (popmax 0.00667%, amr); Associated with neuronopathy, distal hereditary motor, autosomal recessive 5.

What condition is associated with DNAJB2 p.Pro32= (c.96A>G)?

DNAJB2 p.Pro32= (c.96A>G) is associated with neuronopathy, distal hereditary motor, autosomal recessive 5 (ClinVar).

How common is DNAJB2 p.Pro32= (c.96A>G) in the general population?

DNAJB2 p.Pro32= (c.96A>G) is very rare (popmax 0.00667%, amr) (gnomAD).

How is DNAJB2-related Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2 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.
