Is ERC1 p.Pro13Leu (c.38C>T) pathogenic?

ERC1 p.Pro13Leu (c.38C>T) is classified Uncertain significance in ERC1 (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2024-09-10). AlphaMissense: likely benign (0.1007); Very rare (popmax 0.00668%, afr).

How common is ERC1 p.Pro13Leu (c.38C>T) in the general population?

ERC1 p.Pro13Leu (c.38C>T) is very rare (popmax 0.00668%, afr) (gnomAD).

What do computational predictors say about ERC1 p.Pro13Leu (c.38C>T)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely benign (score 0.1007) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

Protein change
AlphaMissense	0.1007	likely benign
REVEL	0.229	benign-leaning
SaProt	LLR -6.08	tolerated
⇒ AlphaMissense, REVEL and SaProt all call this tolerated.

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.
