Is GRIN2A p.Val11= (c.33G>A) pathogenic?

GRIN2A p.Val11= (c.33G>A) is classified Likely benign in GRIN2A (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2023-04-06). Ultra-rare (popmax 0.0165%, mid); Associated with Landau-Kleffner syndrome.

What condition is associated with GRIN2A p.Val11= (c.33G>A)?

GRIN2A p.Val11= (c.33G>A) is associated with Landau-Kleffner syndrome (ClinVar).

How common is GRIN2A p.Val11= (c.33G>A) in the general population?

GRIN2A p.Val11= (c.33G>A) is ultra-rare (popmax 0.0165%, mid) (gnomAD).

How is Landau-Kleffner syndrome inherited?

Typically Autosomal dominant, Unknown (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.
