Is FTCD p.Ile73= (c.219C>T) pathogenic?

FTCD p.Ile73= (c.219C>T) is classified Likely benign in FTCD (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2024-09-05). Ultra-rare (popmax 0.0165%, mid); Associated with formiminoglutamic aciduria.

What condition is associated with FTCD p.Ile73= (c.219C>T)?

FTCD p.Ile73= (c.219C>T) is associated with formiminoglutamic aciduria (ClinVar).

How common is FTCD p.Ile73= (c.219C>T) in the general population?

FTCD p.Ile73= (c.219C>T) is ultra-rare (popmax 0.0165%, mid) (gnomAD).

How is Formiminoglutamic aciduria 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.
