Is FUCA1 p.Pro445= (c.1335C>G) pathogenic?

FUCA1 p.Pro445= (c.1335C>G) is classified Likely benign in FUCA1 (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2025-06-13). Ultra-rare (popmax 0.0133%, afr); Associated with fucosidosis.

What condition is associated with FUCA1 p.Pro445= (c.1335C>G)?

FUCA1 p.Pro445= (c.1335C>G) is associated with fucosidosis (ClinVar).

How common is FUCA1 p.Pro445= (c.1335C>G) in the general population?

FUCA1 p.Pro445= (c.1335C>G) is ultra-rare (popmax 0.0133%, afr) (gnomAD).

How is Fucosidosis 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.
