Is FLNC p.Ser144Phe (c.431C>T) pathogenic?

FLNC p.Ser144Phe (c.431C>T) is classified Uncertain significance in FLNC (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2024-06-09). AlphaMissense: likely pathogenic (0.9849); Very rare (popmax 0.00237%, nfe); Associated with myofibrillar myopathy 5.

What condition is associated with FLNC p.Ser144Phe (c.431C>T)?

FLNC p.Ser144Phe (c.431C>T) is associated with myofibrillar myopathy 5, distal myopathy with posterior leg and anterior hand involvement, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy 26 (ClinVar).

How common is FLNC p.Ser144Phe (c.431C>T) in the general population?

FLNC p.Ser144Phe (c.431C>T) is very rare (popmax 0.00237%, nfe) (gnomAD).

How is Muscle filaminopathy inherited?

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

What do computational predictors say about FLNC p.Ser144Phe (c.431C>T)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely pathogenic (score 0.9849) — 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.
