Is DRC2 p.Asp45Glu (c.135C>A) pathogenic?

DRC2 p.Asp45Glu (c.135C>A) is classified Uncertain significance in DRC2 (ClinVar, Multiple submitters, 2 submitters; last evaluated 2024-06-07). AlphaMissense: likely benign (0.2462); Very rare (popmax 0.00693%, nfe); Associated with primary ciliary dyskinesia 27.

What condition is associated with DRC2 p.Asp45Glu (c.135C>A)?

DRC2 p.Asp45Glu (c.135C>A) is associated with primary ciliary dyskinesia 27 (ClinVar).

How common is DRC2 p.Asp45Glu (c.135C>A) in the general population?

DRC2 p.Asp45Glu (c.135C>A) is very rare (popmax 0.00693%, nfe) (gnomAD).

How is Primary ciliary dyskinesia inherited?

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

What do computational predictors say about DRC2 p.Asp45Glu (c.135C>A)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely benign (score 0.2462) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

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.
