Is KDR p.Val147Ala (c.440T>C) pathogenic?

KDR p.Val147Ala (c.440T>C) is classified Uncertain significance in KDR (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2025-01-19). AlphaMissense: likely benign (0.225); Very rare (popmax 0.00268%, afr).

How common is KDR p.Val147Ala (c.440T>C) in the general population?

KDR p.Val147Ala (c.440T>C) is very rare (popmax 0.00268%, afr) (gnomAD).

What do computational predictors say about KDR p.Val147Ala (c.440T>C)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely benign (score 0.225) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

Protein change
AlphaMissense	0.225	likely benign
REVEL	0.17	moderately benign-leaning
SaProt	LLR -9.26	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.

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.
