What condition is associated with ETFB p.Gln136Ter (c.406C>T)?

ETFB p.Gln136Ter (c.406C>T) is associated with multiple acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (ClinVar).

How common is ETFB p.Gln136Ter (c.406C>T) in the general population?

ETFB p.Gln136Ter (c.406C>T) is very rare (popmax 0.000852%, nfe) (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.
