What condition is associated with EEF1A2 p.Ser18= (c.54C>T)?

EEF1A2 p.Ser18= (c.54C>T) is associated with developmental and epileptic encephalopathy, 33 (ClinVar).

How common is EEF1A2 p.Ser18= (c.54C>T) in the general population?

EEF1A2 p.Ser18= (c.54C>T) is very rare (popmax 0.00439%, sas) (gnomAD).

EEF1A2 p.Ser18=

Q: How is Non-specific early-onset epileptic encephalopathy 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.
