Is ENG p.Thr73Ala (c.217A>G) pathogenic?

ENG p.Thr73Ala (c.217A>G) is classified Uncertain significance in ENG (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2025-03-11). AlphaMissense: likely benign (0.0635); Very rare (popmax 0.00666%, amr); Associated with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia.

What condition is associated with ENG p.Thr73Ala (c.217A>G)?

ENG p.Thr73Ala (c.217A>G) is associated with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (ClinVar).

How common is ENG p.Thr73Ala (c.217A>G) in the general population?

ENG p.Thr73Ala (c.217A>G) is very rare (popmax 0.00666%, amr) (gnomAD).

How is Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia inherited?

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

What do computational predictors say about ENG p.Thr73Ala (c.217A>G)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely benign (score 0.0635) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

ClinVar classifies this uncertain; the computational predictors unanimously lean tolerated — a triage signal, not a reclassification

AlphaMissense carries the ACMG weight for missense; REVEL and SaProt are independent agreement signals.

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.
