What condition is associated with ITCH p.Gln7= (c.21A>G)?

ITCH p.Gln7= (c.21A>G) is associated with syndromic multisystem autoimmune disease due to ITCH deficiency (ClinVar).

How common is ITCH p.Gln7= (c.21A>G) in the general population?

ITCH p.Gln7= (c.21A>G) is very rare (popmax 0.00667%, amr) (gnomAD).

ITCH p.Gln7=

Q: How is Syndromic multisystem autoimmune disease due to Itch 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.
