Is HGD p.Val81= (c.243C>T) pathogenic?

HGD p.Val81= (c.243C>T) is classified Likely benign in HGD (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2019-04-10). No allele count reported in gnomAD v4.1 (AN 1,609,686); Associated with alkaptonuria.

What condition is associated with HGD p.Val81= (c.243C>T)?

HGD p.Val81= (c.243C>T) is associated with alkaptonuria (ClinVar).

How common is HGD p.Val81= (c.243C>T) in the general population?

HGD p.Val81= (c.243C>T) is no allele count reported in gnomAD v4.1 (AN 1,609,686) (gnomAD).

How is Alkaptonuria inherited?

Typically Autosomal recessive (Orphanet). A genetic counselor can assess individual risk for a family.
