Is GNPTAB p.Asp407= (c.1221T>C) pathogenic?

GNPTAB p.Asp407= (c.1221T>C) is classified Likely benign in GNPTAB (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2021-02-12). Very rare (popmax 8.47e-05%, nfe); Associated with mucolipidosis type II.

What condition is associated with GNPTAB p.Asp407= (c.1221T>C)?

GNPTAB p.Asp407= (c.1221T>C) is associated with mucolipidosis type II, mucolipidosis type III, alpha/beta (ClinVar).

How common is GNPTAB p.Asp407= (c.1221T>C) in the general population?

GNPTAB p.Asp407= (c.1221T>C) is very rare (popmax 8.47e-05%, nfe) (gnomAD).

How is Mucolipidosis type II 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.
