Is EPHA2 p.Ser910= (c.2730C>T) pathogenic?

EPHA2 p.Ser910= (c.2730C>T) is classified Benign in EPHA2 (ClinVar, Multiple submitters, 2 submitters; last evaluated 2023-04-29). Very rare (popmax 0.00446%, eas); Associated with cataract 6 multiple types.

What condition is associated with EPHA2 p.Ser910= (c.2730C>T)?

EPHA2 p.Ser910= (c.2730C>T) is associated with cataract 6 multiple types (ClinVar).

How common is EPHA2 p.Ser910= (c.2730C>T) in the general population?

EPHA2 p.Ser910= (c.2730C>T) is very rare (popmax 0.00446%, eas) (gnomAD).

How is Early onset non-syndromic cataract inherited?

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

Ashkenazi Jewish shows a higher raw frequency than the grpmax group above it. gnomAD excludes bottlenecked groups — Finnish, Ashkenazi Jewish, Amish and “Remaining individuals” — from grpmax, because founder effects make their frequencies unrepresentative for filtering. The table is sorted by frequency, so an excluded group can sit above the grpmax row.

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.
