Is GUCY2D p.Pro12= (c.36G>A) pathogenic?

GUCY2D p.Pro12= (c.36G>A) is classified Likely benign in GUCY2D (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2024-02-07). Very rare (popmax 0.00122%, sas); Associated with cone-rod dystrophy 6.

What condition is associated with GUCY2D p.Pro12= (c.36G>A)?

GUCY2D p.Pro12= (c.36G>A) is associated with cone-rod dystrophy 6, Leber congenital amaurosis 1 (ClinVar).

How common is GUCY2D p.Pro12= (c.36G>A) in the general population?

GUCY2D p.Pro12= (c.36G>A) is very rare (popmax 0.00122%, sas) (gnomAD).

How is Cone rod dystrophy inherited?

Typically Autosomal dominant, 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.
