What condition is associated with GAN p.Asp481Val (c.1442A>T)?

GAN p.Asp481Val (c.1442A>T) is associated with giant axonal neuropathy 1 (ClinVar).

How common is GAN p.Asp481Val (c.1442A>T) in the general population?

GAN p.Asp481Val (c.1442A>T) is absent from gnomAD v4.1 (gnomAD).

Computational evidence

Protein change
AlphaMissense	0.1821	likely benign
REVEL	0.3	indeterminate
SaProt	LLR -8.79	tolerated
⇒ AlphaMissense and SaProt both call this tolerated; REVEL is indeterminate.

ClinVar classifies this uncertain; the computational predictors unanimously lean tolerated — a triage signal, not a reclassification

AlphaMissense carries the ACMG weight for missense; REVEL and SaProt are independent agreement signals.
