Is HPD p.Val324= (c.972G>A) pathogenic?

HPD p.Val324= (c.972G>A) is classified Likely benign in HPD (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2024-02-01). Ultra-rare (popmax 0.0307%, afr); Associated with hawkinsinuria.

What condition is associated with HPD p.Val324= (c.972G>A)?

HPD p.Val324= (c.972G>A) is associated with hawkinsinuria, tyrosinemia type III (ClinVar).

How common is HPD p.Val324= (c.972G>A) in the general population?

HPD p.Val324= (c.972G>A) is ultra-rare (popmax 0.0307%, afr) (gnomAD).

How is Hawkinsinuria inherited?

Typically Autosomal dominant (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.
