Is LYST p.Ser194= (c.582G>A) pathogenic?

LYST p.Ser194= (c.582G>A) is classified Likely benign in LYST (ClinVar, Multiple submitters, 2 submitters; last evaluated 2025-07-21). Ultra-rare (popmax 0.0165%, mid); Associated with Chediak-Higashi syndrome.

What condition is associated with LYST p.Ser194= (c.582G>A)?

LYST p.Ser194= (c.582G>A) is associated with Chediak-Higashi syndrome (ClinVar).

How common is LYST p.Ser194= (c.582G>A) in the general population?

LYST p.Ser194= (c.582G>A) is ultra-rare (popmax 0.0165%, 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.
