Is EXT1 p.Glu587= (c.1761G>A) pathogenic?

EXT1 p.Glu587= (c.1761G>A) is classified Benign in EXT1 (ClinVar, Multiple submitters, 9 submitters; last evaluated 2026-02-04). Common (popmax 52.7%, amr) — too common for a highly-penetrant pathogenic allele; Associated with exostoses, multiple, type 1.

What condition is associated with EXT1 p.Glu587= (c.1761G>A)?

EXT1 p.Glu587= (c.1761G>A) is associated with exostoses, multiple, type 1, hereditary multiple osteochondromas (ClinVar).

How is Multiple osteochondromas inherited?

Typically Autosomal dominant (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.
