What condition is associated with FERMT3 p.Arg562= (c.1686G>A)?

FERMT3 p.Arg562= (c.1686G>A) is associated with leukocyte adhesion deficiency 3 (ClinVar).

How common is FERMT3 p.Arg562= (c.1686G>A) in the general population?

FERMT3 p.Arg562= (c.1686G>A) is very rare (popmax 0.004%, afr) (gnomAD).

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.
