Is ETHE1 p.Asp111= (c.333C>T) pathogenic?

ETHE1 p.Asp111= (c.333C>T) is classified Likely benign in ETHE1 (ClinVar, Single submitter, 2 submitters; last evaluated 2024-02-09). Very rare (popmax 0.00446%, eas); Associated with ethylmalonic encephalopathy.

What condition is associated with ETHE1 p.Asp111= (c.333C>T)?

ETHE1 p.Asp111= (c.333C>T) is associated with ethylmalonic encephalopathy (ClinVar).

How common is ETHE1 p.Asp111= (c.333C>T) in the general population?

ETHE1 p.Asp111= (c.333C>T) is very rare (popmax 0.00446%, eas) (gnomAD).

How is Ethylmalonic encephalopathy 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.
