Is GDAP1 p.His295= (c.885T>C) pathogenic?

GDAP1 p.His295= (c.885T>C) is classified Likely benign in GDAP1 (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2023-08-24). Very rare (popmax 0.01%, amr); Associated with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 4A.

What condition is associated with GDAP1 p.His295= (c.885T>C)?

GDAP1 p.His295= (c.885T>C) is associated with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 4A (ClinVar).

How common is GDAP1 p.His295= (c.885T>C) in the general population?

GDAP1 p.His295= (c.885T>C) is very rare (popmax 0.01%, amr) (gnomAD).

How is Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 4A 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.
