Is DSP p.Glu215= (c.645G>A) pathogenic?

DSP p.Glu215= (c.645G>A) is classified Likely benign in DSP (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2023-05-30). Very rare (popmax 0.0011%, sas); Associated with arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy with wooly hair and keratoderma.

What condition is associated with DSP p.Glu215= (c.645G>A)?

DSP p.Glu215= (c.645G>A) is associated with arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy with wooly hair and keratoderma (ClinVar).

How common is DSP p.Glu215= (c.645G>A) in the general population?

DSP p.Glu215= (c.645G>A) is very rare (popmax 0.0011%, sas) (gnomAD).

How is Carvajal syndrome inherited?

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

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.
