How common is ERC1 p.Arg6His (c.17G>A) in the general population?

ERC1 p.Arg6His (c.17G>A) is very rare (popmax 0.00221%, nfe) (gnomAD).

What do computational predictors say about ERC1 p.Arg6His (c.17G>A)?

AlphaMissense predicts ambiguous (score 0.484) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

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.
