Is EDA p.Met279Ile (c.837G>A) pathogenic?

EDA p.Met279Ile (c.837G>A) is classified Pathogenic in EDA (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2022-08-16). AlphaMissense: likely pathogenic (0.6808); Absent from gnomAD v4.1; Associated with X-linked hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia.

What condition is associated with EDA p.Met279Ile (c.837G>A)?

EDA p.Met279Ile (c.837G>A) is associated with X-linked hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (ClinVar).

How common is EDA p.Met279Ile (c.837G>A) in the general population?

EDA p.Met279Ile (c.837G>A) is absent from gnomAD v4.1 (gnomAD).

How is Hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia inherited?

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

What do computational predictors say about EDA p.Met279Ile (c.837G>A)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely pathogenic (score 0.6808) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.
