Is EYS p.Phe501Ile (c.1501T>A) pathogenic?

EYS p.Phe501Ile (c.1501T>A) is classified Uncertain significance in EYS (ClinVar, No assertion criteria, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2025-01-10). AlphaMissense: likely benign (0.0955); Absent from gnomAD v4.1; Associated with retinitis pigmentosa 25.

What condition is associated with EYS p.Phe501Ile (c.1501T>A)?

EYS p.Phe501Ile (c.1501T>A) is associated with retinitis pigmentosa 25 (ClinVar).

How common is EYS p.Phe501Ile (c.1501T>A) in the general population?

EYS p.Phe501Ile (c.1501T>A) is absent from gnomAD v4.1 (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.Phe501Ile (c.1501T>A)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely benign (score 0.0955) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

SaProt	—	not scored · why
⇒ AlphaMissense and REVEL both call this tolerated; SaProt makes no 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.
