Is ECSIT p.Arg35Cys (c.103C>T) pathogenic?

ECSIT p.Arg35Cys (c.103C>T) is classified Uncertain significance in ECSIT (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2025-12-15). AlphaMissense: likely benign (0.0805); Ultra-rare (popmax 0.0187%, mid).

How common is ECSIT p.Arg35Cys (c.103C>T) in the general population?

ECSIT p.Arg35Cys (c.103C>T) is ultra-rare (popmax 0.0187%, mid) (gnomAD).

What do computational predictors say about ECSIT p.Arg35Cys (c.103C>T)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely benign (score 0.0805) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

Protein change
AlphaMissense	0.0805	likely benign
REVEL	0.102	moderately benign-leaning
SaProt	LLR -7.69	tolerated
⇒ AlphaMissense, REVEL and SaProt all call this tolerated.

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.
