Is EIF2B5 p.Val155= (c.465C>T) pathogenic?

EIF2B5 p.Val155= (c.465C>T) is classified Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity in EIF2B5 (ClinVar, Conflicting submitters, 2 submitters; last evaluated 2022-04-14). Very rare (popmax 8.47e-05%, nfe); Associated with leukoencephalopathy with vanishing white matter.

What condition is associated with EIF2B5 p.Val155= (c.465C>T)?

EIF2B5 p.Val155= (c.465C>T) is associated with leukoencephalopathy with vanishing white matter (ClinVar).

How common is EIF2B5 p.Val155= (c.465C>T) in the general population?

EIF2B5 p.Val155= (c.465C>T) is very rare (popmax 8.47e-05%, nfe) (gnomAD).

How is CACH syndrome 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.
