Is MMAB p.Ser244= (c.732G>C) pathogenic?

MMAB p.Ser244= (c.732G>C) is classified Likely benign in MMAB (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2024-02-08). Very rare (popmax 0.00833%, amr); Associated with methylmalonic aciduria, cblB type.

What condition is associated with MMAB p.Ser244= (c.732G>C)?

MMAB p.Ser244= (c.732G>C) is associated with methylmalonic aciduria, cblB type (ClinVar).

How common is MMAB p.Ser244= (c.732G>C) in the general population?

MMAB p.Ser244= (c.732G>C) is very rare (popmax 0.00833%, amr) (gnomAD).

How is Vitamin B12-responsive methylmalonic acidemia 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.
