Is DNMT1 p.Pro896Ser (c.2686C>T) pathogenic?

DNMT1 p.Pro896Ser (c.2686C>T) is classified Uncertain significance in DNMT1 (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2022-12-23). AlphaMissense: ambiguous (0.3424); Very rare (popmax 0.000678%, nfe); Associated with hereditary sensory neuropathy-deafness-dementia syndrome.

What condition is associated with DNMT1 p.Pro896Ser (c.2686C>T)?

DNMT1 p.Pro896Ser (c.2686C>T) is associated with hereditary sensory neuropathy-deafness-dementia syndrome (ClinVar).

How common is DNMT1 p.Pro896Ser (c.2686C>T) in the general population?

DNMT1 p.Pro896Ser (c.2686C>T) is very rare (popmax 0.000678%, nfe) (gnomAD).

What do computational predictors say about DNMT1 p.Pro896Ser (c.2686C>T)?

AlphaMissense predicts ambiguous (score 0.3424) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

DNMT1 p.Pro896Ser

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

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

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

⚠ Isoform check: AlphaMissense numbered on a different transcript (AM P880S vs ClinVar P896S) — verify the residue.

Remaining individuals shows a higher raw frequency than the grpmax group above it. gnomAD excludes bottlenecked groups — Finnish, Ashkenazi Jewish, Amish and “Remaining individuals” — from grpmax, because founder effects make their frequencies unrepresentative for filtering. The table is sorted by frequency, so an excluded group can sit above the grpmax row.

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.
