Is ETFA p.Ala114= (c.342C>T) pathogenic?

ETFA p.Ala114= (c.342C>T) is classified Likely benign in ETFA (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2024-02-04). Very rare (popmax 0.00446%, eas); Associated with multiple acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency.

What condition is associated with ETFA p.Ala114= (c.342C>T)?

ETFA p.Ala114= (c.342C>T) is associated with multiple acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (ClinVar).

How common is ETFA p.Ala114= (c.342C>T) in the general population?

ETFA p.Ala114= (c.342C>T) is very rare (popmax 0.00446%, eas) (gnomAD).

How is Multiple acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency inherited?

Typically Autosomal recessive (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.
