Is HLCS p.Asp237= (c.711C>T) pathogenic?

HLCS p.Asp237= (c.711C>T) is classified Likely benign in HLCS (ClinVar, Single submitter, 2 submitters; last evaluated 2022-09-23). Very rare (popmax 0.00223%, eas); Associated with holocarboxylase synthetase deficiency.

What condition is associated with HLCS p.Asp237= (c.711C>T)?

HLCS p.Asp237= (c.711C>T) is associated with holocarboxylase synthetase deficiency (ClinVar).

How common is HLCS p.Asp237= (c.711C>T) in the general population?

HLCS p.Asp237= (c.711C>T) is very rare (popmax 0.00223%, eas) (gnomAD).

How is Holocarboxylase synthetase deficiency 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.
