Is DST p.Val6638= (c.19914A>G) pathogenic?

DST p.Val6638= (c.19914A>G) is classified Benign/Likely benign in DST (ClinVar, Multiple submitters, 2 submitters; last evaluated 2026-05-01). Rare (popmax 0.313%, afr); Associated with epidermolysis bullosa simplex 3, localized or generalized intermediate, with BP230 deficiency.

How common is DST p.Val6638= (c.19914A>G) in the general population?

DST p.Val6638= (c.19914A>G) is rare (popmax 0.313%, afr) (gnomAD).

DST p.Val6638=

Q: What condition is associated with DST p.Val6638= (c.19914A>G)?

DST p.Val6638= (c.19914A>G) is associated with epidermolysis bullosa simplex 3, localized or generalized intermediate, with BP230 deficiency, hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy type 6 (ClinVar).

Q: How is Epidermolysis bullosa simplex due to BP230 deficiency inherited?

Typically 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.
