Is GLA p.Asn53Asp (c.157A>G) pathogenic?

GLA p.Asn53Asp (c.157A>G) is classified Uncertain significance in GLA (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2026-09-08). AlphaMissense: likely benign (0.1292); Absent from gnomAD v4.1; Associated with Fabry disease.

What condition is associated with GLA p.Asn53Asp (c.157A>G)?

GLA p.Asn53Asp (c.157A>G) is associated with Fabry disease (ClinVar).

How common is GLA p.Asn53Asp (c.157A>G) in the general population?

GLA p.Asn53Asp (c.157A>G) is absent from gnomAD v4.1 (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.Asn53Asp (c.157A>G)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely benign (score 0.1292) — 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.
