Is MAP3K14 p.Ala837= (c.2511T>C) pathogenic?

MAP3K14 p.Ala837= (c.2511T>C) is classified Likely benign in MAP3K14 (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2024-11-30). Ultra-rare (popmax 0.0174%, afr); Associated with NIK deficiency.

What condition is associated with MAP3K14 p.Ala837= (c.2511T>C)?

MAP3K14 p.Ala837= (c.2511T>C) is associated with NIK deficiency (ClinVar).

How common is MAP3K14 p.Ala837= (c.2511T>C) in the general population?

MAP3K14 p.Ala837= (c.2511T>C) is ultra-rare (popmax 0.0174%, afr) (gnomAD).

How is NIK deficiency 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.
