Is EPOR p.Ser288= (c.864C>T) pathogenic?

EPOR p.Ser288= (c.864C>T) is classified Uncertain significance in EPOR (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2018-01-12). Very rare (popmax 0.000254%, nfe); Associated with primary familial polycythemia due to EPO receptor mutation.

What condition is associated with EPOR p.Ser288= (c.864C>T)?

EPOR p.Ser288= (c.864C>T) is associated with primary familial polycythemia due to EPO receptor mutation (ClinVar).

How common is EPOR p.Ser288= (c.864C>T) in the general population?

EPOR p.Ser288= (c.864C>T) is very rare (popmax 0.000254%, nfe) (gnomAD).

How is Primary familial polycythemia inherited?

Typically Autosomal dominant (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.
