Is EBF4 p.Val28Met (c.82G>A) pathogenic?

EBF4 p.Val28Met (c.82G>A) is classified Uncertain significance in EBF4 (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2025-08-31). AlphaMissense: likely benign (0.2439); Very rare (popmax 0.00371%, nfe).

How common is EBF4 p.Val28Met (c.82G>A) in the general population?

EBF4 p.Val28Met (c.82G>A) is very rare (popmax 0.00371%, nfe) (gnomAD).

What do computational predictors say about EBF4 p.Val28Met (c.82G>A)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely benign (score 0.2439) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

Protein change
AlphaMissense	0.2439	likely benign
REVEL	0.23	benign-leaning
SaProt	LLR -7.34	tolerated
⇒ AlphaMissense, REVEL and SaProt all call this tolerated.
Splicing
SpliceAI	<0.2	no splice effect predicted · four deltas, not one · how we know

Overall

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.
