Is IMPG2 p.Ser34Cys (c.101C>G) pathogenic?

IMPG2 p.Ser34Cys (c.101C>G) is classified Uncertain significance in IMPG2 (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2024-03-14). AlphaMissense: likely benign (0.1203); Absent from gnomAD v4.1; Associated with vitelliform macular dystrophy 5.

What condition is associated with IMPG2 p.Ser34Cys (c.101C>G)?

IMPG2 p.Ser34Cys (c.101C>G) is associated with vitelliform macular dystrophy 5 (ClinVar).

How common is IMPG2 p.Ser34Cys (c.101C>G) in the general population?

IMPG2 p.Ser34Cys (c.101C>G) is absent from gnomAD v4.1 (gnomAD).

How is Adult-onset foveomacular vitelliform dystrophy inherited?

Typically Autosomal dominant, Not applicable (Orphanet). A genetic counselor can assess individual risk for a family.

What do computational predictors say about IMPG2 p.Ser34Cys (c.101C>G)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely benign (score 0.1203) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

Protein change
AlphaMissense	0.1203	likely benign
REVEL	0.081	moderately benign-leaning
SaProt	LLR -9.97	tolerated
⇒ AlphaMissense, REVEL and SaProt all call this tolerated.

ClinVar classifies this uncertain; the computational predictors unanimously lean tolerated — a triage signal, not a reclassification

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