Is ETFA p.Arg11Gln (c.32G>A) pathogenic?

ETFA p.Arg11Gln (c.32G>A) is classified Uncertain significance in ETFA (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2021-09-08). AlphaMissense: likely benign (0.2304); Ultra-rare (popmax 0.0523%, mid); Associated with multiple acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency.

What condition is associated with ETFA p.Arg11Gln (c.32G>A)?

ETFA p.Arg11Gln (c.32G>A) is associated with multiple acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (ClinVar).

How common is ETFA p.Arg11Gln (c.32G>A) in the general population?

ETFA p.Arg11Gln (c.32G>A) is ultra-rare (popmax 0.0523%, mid) (gnomAD).

How is Multiple acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency inherited?

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

What do computational predictors say about ETFA p.Arg11Gln (c.32G>A)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely benign (score 0.2304) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

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.
