Is ELF4 p.Gly237Val (c.710G>T) pathogenic?

ELF4 p.Gly237Val (c.710G>T) is classified Uncertain significance in ELF4 (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2024-12-19). AlphaMissense: likely pathogenic (0.9998); Very rare (popmax 9.11e-05%); Associated with autoinflammatory syndrome, familial, X-linked, Behcet-like 2.

What condition is associated with ELF4 p.Gly237Val (c.710G>T)?

ELF4 p.Gly237Val (c.710G>T) is associated with autoinflammatory syndrome, familial, X-linked, Behcet-like 2 (ClinVar).

How common is ELF4 p.Gly237Val (c.710G>T) in the general population?

ELF4 p.Gly237Val (c.710G>T) is very rare (popmax 9.11e-05%) (gnomAD).

What do computational predictors say about ELF4 p.Gly237Val (c.710G>T)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely pathogenic (score 0.9998) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

ELF4 p.Gly237Val

Q: How is X-linked immune dysregulation with inflammatory bowel disease due to ELF4 deficiency inherited?

Typically X-linked 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.
