What condition is associated with EXT2 p.Arg70= (c.210G>A)?

EXT2 p.Arg70= (c.210G>A) is associated with exostoses, multiple, type 2 (ClinVar).

How common is EXT2 p.Arg70= (c.210G>A) in the general population?

EXT2 p.Arg70= (c.210G>A) is very rare (popmax 0.00439%, sas) (gnomAD).

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.
