Is DNASE1 p.Arg2Trp (c.4A>T) pathogenic?

DNASE1 p.Arg2Trp (c.4A>T) is classified Uncertain significance in DNASE1 (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2025-10-15). AlphaMissense: likely benign (0.204); Very rare (popmax 0.00549%, sas).

How common is DNASE1 p.Arg2Trp (c.4A>T) in the general population?

DNASE1 p.Arg2Trp (c.4A>T) is very rare (popmax 0.00549%, sas) (gnomAD).

What do computational predictors say about DNASE1 p.Arg2Trp (c.4A>T)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely benign (score 0.204) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

REVEL	0.199	benign-leaning
SaProt	LLR -7.74	tolerated
⇒ AlphaMissense, REVEL and SaProt all call this tolerated.

ClinVar classifies this uncertain; the computational predictors unanimously lean tolerated — a triage signal, not a reclassification

AlphaMissense carries the ACMG weight for missense; REVEL and SaProt are independent agreement signals.

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.
