Is ELP1 p.Val303= (c.909C>G) pathogenic?

ELP1 p.Val303= (c.909C>G) is classified Likely benign in ELP1 (ClinVar, Multiple submitters, 5 submitters; last evaluated 2026-01-14). Rare (popmax 0.135%, afr); Associated with medulloblastoma.

What condition is associated with ELP1 p.Val303= (c.909C>G)?

ELP1 p.Val303= (c.909C>G) is associated with medulloblastoma, Riley-Day syndrome (ClinVar).

How common is ELP1 p.Val303= (c.909C>G) in the general population?

ELP1 p.Val303= (c.909C>G) is rare (popmax 0.135%, afr) (gnomAD).

How is Medulloblastoma inherited?

Typically Not applicable (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.
