Is DNAJB6 p.Ala14Ser (c.40G>T) pathogenic?

DNAJB6 p.Ala14Ser (c.40G>T) is classified Uncertain significance in DNAJB6 (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2025-10-01). AlphaMissense: ambiguous (0.3496); Very rare (popmax 0.00833%, amr); Associated with autosomal dominant limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 1D (DNAJB6).

What condition is associated with DNAJB6 p.Ala14Ser (c.40G>T)?

DNAJB6 p.Ala14Ser (c.40G>T) is associated with autosomal dominant limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 1D (DNAJB6) (ClinVar).

How common is DNAJB6 p.Ala14Ser (c.40G>T) in the general population?

DNAJB6 p.Ala14Ser (c.40G>T) is very rare (popmax 0.00833%, amr) (gnomAD).

How is DNAJB6-related limb-girdle muscular dystrophy D1 inherited?

Typically Autosomal dominant (Orphanet). A genetic counselor can assess individual risk for a family.

What do computational predictors say about DNAJB6 p.Ala14Ser (c.40G>T)?

AlphaMissense predicts ambiguous (score 0.3496) — 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.
