Is EYS p.Glu796Val (c.2387A>T) pathogenic?

EYS p.Glu796Val (c.2387A>T) is classified Uncertain significance in EYS (ClinVar, Single submitter, 3 submitters; last evaluated 2024-02-24). AlphaMissense: likely benign (0.1856); Very rare (popmax 0.00892%, nfe); Associated with retinitis pigmentosa 25.

What condition is associated with EYS p.Glu796Val (c.2387A>T)?

EYS p.Glu796Val (c.2387A>T) is associated with retinitis pigmentosa 25 (ClinVar).

How common is EYS p.Glu796Val (c.2387A>T) in the general population?

EYS p.Glu796Val (c.2387A>T) is very rare (popmax 0.00892%, nfe) (gnomAD).

How is Retinitis pigmentosa inherited?

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

What do computational predictors say about EYS p.Glu796Val (c.2387A>T)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely benign (score 0.1856) — 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 is an independent agreement signal.

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.
