Is FERMT1 p.Phe436Ser (c.1307T>C) pathogenic?

FERMT1 p.Phe436Ser (c.1307T>C) is classified Uncertain significance in FERMT1 (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2018-01-13). AlphaMissense: likely pathogenic (0.9434); Very rare (popmax 0.00161%, nfe); Associated with Kindler syndrome.

What condition is associated with FERMT1 p.Phe436Ser (c.1307T>C)?

FERMT1 p.Phe436Ser (c.1307T>C) is associated with Kindler syndrome (ClinVar).

How common is FERMT1 p.Phe436Ser (c.1307T>C) in the general population?

FERMT1 p.Phe436Ser (c.1307T>C) is very rare (popmax 0.00161%, nfe) (gnomAD).

How is Kindler epidermolysis bullosa inherited?

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

What do computational predictors say about FERMT1 p.Phe436Ser (c.1307T>C)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely pathogenic (score 0.9434) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

ClinVar classifies this uncertain; the computational predictors unanimously lean damaging — 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.
