Is GMPPB p.Ser273= (c.819C>T) pathogenic?

GMPPB p.Ser273= (c.819C>T) is classified Likely benign in GMPPB (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2019-08-27). Very rare (popmax 0.00167%, amr); Associated with muscular dystrophy-dystroglycanopathy (congenital with brain and eye anomalies), type A14.

What condition is associated with GMPPB p.Ser273= (c.819C>T)?

GMPPB p.Ser273= (c.819C>T) is associated with muscular dystrophy-dystroglycanopathy (congenital with brain and eye anomalies), type A14, muscular dystrophy-dystroglycanopathy (congenital with intellectual disability), type B14, autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2T (ClinVar).

How common is GMPPB p.Ser273= (c.819C>T) in the general population?

GMPPB p.Ser273= (c.819C>T) is very rare (popmax 0.00167%, amr) (gnomAD).

How is Walker-Warburg syndrome 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.
