Is KCTD7 p.Pro33= (c.99G>A) pathogenic?

KCTD7 p.Pro33= (c.99G>A) is classified Likely benign in KCTD7 (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2024-03-07). Very rare (popmax 8.8e-05%, nfe); Associated with progressive myoclonic epilepsy type 3.

What condition is associated with KCTD7 p.Pro33= (c.99G>A)?

KCTD7 p.Pro33= (c.99G>A) is associated with progressive myoclonic epilepsy type 3 (ClinVar).

How common is KCTD7 p.Pro33= (c.99G>A) in the general population?

KCTD7 p.Pro33= (c.99G>A) is very rare (popmax 8.8e-05%, nfe) (gnomAD).

How is Progressive myoclonic epilepsy type 3 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.
