Is FECH p.Gly5Asp (c.14G>A) pathogenic?

FECH p.Gly5Asp (c.14G>A) is classified Uncertain significance in FECH (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2025-08-03). AlphaMissense: likely benign (0.1703); Rare (popmax 0.111%, afr); Associated with Inborn genetic diseases.

What condition is associated with FECH p.Gly5Asp (c.14G>A)?

FECH p.Gly5Asp (c.14G>A) is associated with Inborn genetic diseases (ClinVar).

How common is FECH p.Gly5Asp (c.14G>A) in the general population?

FECH p.Gly5Asp (c.14G>A) is rare (popmax 0.111%, afr) (gnomAD).

What do computational predictors say about FECH p.Gly5Asp (c.14G>A)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely benign (score 0.1703) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

Protein change
AlphaMissense	0.1703	likely benign
REVEL	0.255	benign-leaning
SaProt	LLR -9.01	tolerated
⇒ AlphaMissense, REVEL and SaProt all call this tolerated.

ClinVar classifies this uncertain; the computational predictors unanimously lean tolerated — a triage signal, not a reclassification

AlphaMissense carries the ACMG weight for missense; REVEL and SaProt are independent agreement signals.

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.
