Is DSP p.Ala114Thr (c.340G>A) pathogenic?

DSP p.Ala114Thr (c.340G>A) is classified Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity in DSP (ClinVar, Conflicting submitters, 3 submitters; last evaluated 2025-12-15). AlphaMissense: likely benign (0.2089); Ultra-rare (popmax 0.0134%, eas); Associated with arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy with wooly hair and keratoderma.

What condition is associated with DSP p.Ala114Thr (c.340G>A)?

DSP p.Ala114Thr (c.340G>A) is associated with arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy with wooly hair and keratoderma, cardiomyopathy, arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia 8 (ClinVar).

How common is DSP p.Ala114Thr (c.340G>A) in the general population?

DSP p.Ala114Thr (c.340G>A) is ultra-rare (popmax 0.0134%, eas) (gnomAD).

How is Carvajal syndrome inherited?

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

What do computational predictors say about DSP p.Ala114Thr (c.340G>A)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely benign (score 0.2089) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

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.
