Is DPP9 p.Arg71Cys (c.211C>T) pathogenic?

DPP9 p.Arg71Cys (c.211C>T) is classified Uncertain significance in DPP9 (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2022-11-07). AlphaMissense: likely pathogenic (0.6801); Very rare (popmax 0.00382%, nfe).

How common is DPP9 p.Arg71Cys (c.211C>T) in the general population?

DPP9 p.Arg71Cys (c.211C>T) is very rare (popmax 0.00382%, nfe) (gnomAD).

What do computational predictors say about DPP9 p.Arg71Cys (c.211C>T)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely pathogenic (score 0.6801) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

Protein change
AlphaMissense	0.6801	likely pathogenic
REVEL	0.534	indeterminate
SaProt	LLR -11.58	damaging
⇒ AlphaMissense and SaProt both call this damaging; REVEL makes no call.

ClinVar classifies this uncertain; the computational predictors unanimously lean damaging — 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 R42C vs ClinVar R71C) — 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.
