Is MET p.Ala3Val (c.8C>T) pathogenic?

MET p.Ala3Val (c.8C>T) is classified Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity in MET (ClinVar, Conflicting submitters, 2 submitters; last evaluated 2026-06-12). AlphaMissense: likely benign (0.0832); Very rare (popmax 0.00017%, nfe); Associated with renal cell carcinoma.

What condition is associated with MET p.Ala3Val (c.8C>T)?

MET p.Ala3Val (c.8C>T) is associated with renal cell carcinoma, hereditary neoplastic syndrome (ClinVar).

How common is MET p.Ala3Val (c.8C>T) in the general population?

MET p.Ala3Val (c.8C>T) is very rare (popmax 0.00017%, nfe) (gnomAD).

What do computational predictors say about MET p.Ala3Val (c.8C>T)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely benign (score 0.0832) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

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.
