Is FKRP p.Pro97= (c.291C>T) pathogenic?

FKRP p.Pro97= (c.291C>T) is classified Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity in FKRP (ClinVar, Conflicting submitters, 3 submitters; last evaluated 2024-08-27). Very rare (popmax 0.00542%, afr); Associated with muscular dystrophy-dystroglycanopathy, type A.

What condition is associated with FKRP p.Pro97= (c.291C>T)?

FKRP p.Pro97= (c.291C>T) is associated with muscular dystrophy-dystroglycanopathy, type A (ClinVar).

How common is FKRP p.Pro97= (c.291C>T) in the general population?

FKRP p.Pro97= (c.291C>T) is very rare (popmax 0.00542%, afr) (gnomAD).

How is Walker-Warburg syndrome inherited?

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

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.
