Is IMPG2 p.Phe313Leu (c.937T>C) pathogenic?

IMPG2 p.Phe313Leu (c.937T>C) is classified Uncertain significance in IMPG2 (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2018-01-12). AlphaMissense: likely pathogenic (0.9225); Very rare (popmax 0.00017%, nfe); Associated with retinitis pigmentosa.

What condition is associated with IMPG2 p.Phe313Leu (c.937T>C)?

IMPG2 p.Phe313Leu (c.937T>C) is associated with retinitis pigmentosa (ClinVar).

How common is IMPG2 p.Phe313Leu (c.937T>C) in the general population?

IMPG2 p.Phe313Leu (c.937T>C) is very rare (popmax 0.00017%, nfe) (gnomAD).

How is Retinitis pigmentosa inherited?

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

What do computational predictors say about IMPG2 p.Phe313Leu (c.937T>C)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely pathogenic (score 0.9225) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

Protein change
AlphaMissense	0.9225	likely pathogenic · top 5% in IMPG2
REVEL	0.219	benign-leaning
SaProt	LLR -7.17	tolerated
⇒ AlphaMissense calls this damaging; REVEL and SaProt do not.

AlphaMissense carries the ACMG weight for missense; REVEL and SaProt are independent agreement signals.

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.
