Is MAF p.His192= (c.576C>T) pathogenic?

MAF p.His192= (c.576C>T) is classified Likely benign in MAF (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2025-01-07). Very rare (popmax 0.0012%, nfe); Associated with cataract 21 multiple types.

What condition is associated with MAF p.His192= (c.576C>T)?

MAF p.His192= (c.576C>T) is associated with cataract 21 multiple types, Ayme-Gripp syndrome (ClinVar).

How common is MAF p.His192= (c.576C>T) in the general population?

MAF p.His192= (c.576C>T) is very rare (popmax 0.0012%, nfe) (gnomAD).

How is Early onset non-syndromic cataract inherited?

Typically Autosomal dominant, 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.
