Is LDB3 p.Pro378Ser (c.1132C>T) pathogenic?

LDB3 p.Pro378Ser (c.1132C>T) is classified Uncertain significance in LDB3 (ClinVar, Multiple submitters, 3 submitters; last evaluated 2025-11-06). AlphaMissense: likely benign (0.0719); Very rare (popmax 0.000847%, nfe); Associated with myofibrillar myopathy 4.

What condition is associated with LDB3 p.Pro378Ser (c.1132C>T)?

LDB3 p.Pro378Ser (c.1132C>T) is associated with myofibrillar myopathy 4 (ClinVar).

How common is LDB3 p.Pro378Ser (c.1132C>T) in the general population?

LDB3 p.Pro378Ser (c.1132C>T) is very rare (popmax 0.000847%, nfe) (gnomAD).

What do computational predictors say about LDB3 p.Pro378Ser (c.1132C>T)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely benign (score 0.0719) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

LDB3 p.Pro378Ser

Q: How is Late-onset distal myopathy, Markesbery-Griggs type inherited?

Typically Autosomal dominant (Orphanet). A genetic counselor can assess individual risk for a family.

Protein change
AlphaMissense	0.0719	likely benign
REVEL	0.191	benign-leaning
SaProt	LLR -7.00	tolerated
⇒ AlphaMissense, REVEL and SaProt all call this tolerated.

Regional constraint	o/e 0.95	unconstrained · MANE · 64 kb · p 0.14 · regional, not allelic
Overall

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.
