Is GALNS p.Pro357= (c.1071G>T) pathogenic?

GALNS p.Pro357= (c.1071G>T) is classified Likely benign in GALNS (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2024-01-18). Very rare (popmax 0.00843%, amr); Associated with mucopolysaccharidosis type 4A.

What condition is associated with GALNS p.Pro357= (c.1071G>T)?

GALNS p.Pro357= (c.1071G>T) is associated with mucopolysaccharidosis type 4A (ClinVar).

How common is GALNS p.Pro357= (c.1071G>T) in the general population?

GALNS p.Pro357= (c.1071G>T) is very rare (popmax 0.00843%, amr) (gnomAD).

How is Mucopolysaccharidosis type 4 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.
