Is DNAJB2 p.Ser152Pro (c.454T>C) pathogenic?

DNAJB2 p.Ser152Pro (c.454T>C) is classified Uncertain significance in DNAJB2 (ClinVar, Multiple submitters, 2 submitters; last evaluated 2020-11-05). AlphaMissense: likely benign (0.2182); Very rare (popmax 0.000339%, nfe); Associated with neuronopathy, distal hereditary motor, autosomal recessive 5.

What condition is associated with DNAJB2 p.Ser152Pro (c.454T>C)?

DNAJB2 p.Ser152Pro (c.454T>C) is associated with neuronopathy, distal hereditary motor, autosomal recessive 5 (ClinVar).

How common is DNAJB2 p.Ser152Pro (c.454T>C) in the general population?

DNAJB2 p.Ser152Pro (c.454T>C) is very rare (popmax 0.000339%, nfe) (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.

What do computational predictors say about DNAJB2 p.Ser152Pro (c.454T>C)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely benign (score 0.2182) — 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.
