Is IRF8 p.Pro355= (c.1065G>C) pathogenic?

IRF8 p.Pro355= (c.1065G>C) is classified Likely benign in IRF8 (ClinVar, Multiple submitters, 2 submitters; last evaluated 2023-10-09). Very rare (popmax 0.00167%, amr); Associated with immunodeficiency 32B.

What condition is associated with IRF8 p.Pro355= (c.1065G>C)?

IRF8 p.Pro355= (c.1065G>C) is associated with immunodeficiency 32B, Mendelian susceptibility to mycobacterial diseases due to partial IRF8 deficiency (ClinVar).

How common is IRF8 p.Pro355= (c.1065G>C) in the general population?

IRF8 p.Pro355= (c.1065G>C) is very rare (popmax 0.00167%, amr) (gnomAD).

How is Chronic Epstein-Barr virus infection syndrome inherited?

Typically Unknown (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.
