Is LYST p.Arg116= (c.348A>G) pathogenic?

LYST p.Arg116= (c.348A>G) is classified Likely benign in LYST (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2024-11-13). Ultra-rare (popmax 0.0497%, mid); Associated with Chediak-Higashi syndrome.

What condition is associated with LYST p.Arg116= (c.348A>G)?

LYST p.Arg116= (c.348A>G) is associated with Chediak-Higashi syndrome (ClinVar).

How common is LYST p.Arg116= (c.348A>G) in the general population?

LYST p.Arg116= (c.348A>G) is ultra-rare (popmax 0.0497%, mid) (gnomAD).

How is Chédiak-Higashi syndrome 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.
