Is DNMT1 p.Pro196Arg (c.587C>G) pathogenic?

DNMT1 p.Pro196Arg (c.587C>G) is classified Uncertain significance in DNMT1 (ClinVar, Multiple submitters, 2 submitters; last evaluated 2024-03-01). AlphaMissense: likely benign (0.1219); Very rare (popmax 0.000339%, nfe); Associated with hereditary sensory neuropathy-deafness-dementia syndrome.

What condition is associated with DNMT1 p.Pro196Arg (c.587C>G)?

DNMT1 p.Pro196Arg (c.587C>G) is associated with hereditary sensory neuropathy-deafness-dementia syndrome (ClinVar).

How common is DNMT1 p.Pro196Arg (c.587C>G) in the general population?

DNMT1 p.Pro196Arg (c.587C>G) is very rare (popmax 0.000339%, nfe) (gnomAD).

What do computational predictors say about DNMT1 p.Pro196Arg (c.587C>G)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely benign (score 0.1219) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

DNMT1 p.Pro196Arg

Q: How is Hereditary sensory neuropathy-deafness-dementia syndrome inherited?

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

Protein change

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.

⚠ Isoform check: AlphaMissense numbered on a different transcript (AM P180R vs ClinVar P196R) — verify the residue.

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.
