What condition is associated with FLNC p.Arg482Ter (c.1444C>T)?

FLNC p.Arg482Ter (c.1444C>T) is associated with myofibrillar myopathy 5, cardiomyopathy, dilated cardiomyopathy (ClinVar).

How common is FLNC p.Arg482Ter (c.1444C>T) in the general population?

FLNC p.Arg482Ter (c.1444C>T) is very rare (popmax 0.000339%, nfe) (gnomAD).

How is Muscle filaminopathy inherited?

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

Computational evidence

Protein change
Missense predictors do not apply to this variant type; conservation carries the signal.
Consequence	nonsense (stop-gain)	predicted loss-of-function in a haploinsufficient gene (ClinGen)
NMD	predicted	premature termination codon in exon 9 of 48
Splicing
SpliceAI	—	not assessed · no allele here is in the release

CADD	36.0	PHRED · no single calibrated threshold — expert panels disagree

Predicted loss-of-function is descriptive, not an applied PVS1 code.

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.
