Is GLA p.Ala15Thr (c.43G>A) pathogenic?

GLA p.Ala15Thr (c.43G>A) is classified Uncertain significance in GLA (ClinVar, Multiple submitters, 6 submitters; last evaluated 2026-09-08). AlphaMissense: likely benign (0.0938); Ultra-rare (popmax 0.0355%, eas); Associated with Fabry disease.

What condition is associated with GLA p.Ala15Thr (c.43G>A)?

GLA p.Ala15Thr (c.43G>A) is associated with Fabry disease (ClinVar).

How common is GLA p.Ala15Thr (c.43G>A) in the general population?

GLA p.Ala15Thr (c.43G>A) is ultra-rare (popmax 0.0355%, eas) (gnomAD).

How is Fabry disease inherited?

Typically X-linked dominant, X-linked recessive (Orphanet). A genetic counselor can assess individual risk for a family.

What do computational predictors say about GLA p.Ala15Thr (c.43G>A)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely benign (score 0.0938) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

REVEL	0.28	benign-leaning
SaProt	LLR -7.99	tolerated
⇒ AlphaMissense, REVEL and SaProt all call this tolerated.

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.

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.
