Is GDAP1 p.Ile87Val (c.259A>G) pathogenic?

GDAP1 p.Ile87Val (c.259A>G) is classified Uncertain significance in GDAP1 (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2021-05-30). AlphaMissense: likely benign (0.1127); Absent from gnomAD v4.1; Associated with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 4A.

What condition is associated with GDAP1 p.Ile87Val (c.259A>G)?

GDAP1 p.Ile87Val (c.259A>G) is associated with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 4A (ClinVar).

How common is GDAP1 p.Ile87Val (c.259A>G) in the general population?

GDAP1 p.Ile87Val (c.259A>G) is absent from gnomAD v4.1 (gnomAD).

How is Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 4A inherited?

Typically Autosomal recessive (Orphanet). A genetic counselor can assess individual risk for a family.

What do computational predictors say about GDAP1 p.Ile87Val (c.259A>G)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely benign (score 0.1127) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

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.
