Is MOGS p.Arg70Trp (c.208C>T) pathogenic?

MOGS p.Arg70Trp (c.208C>T) is classified Uncertain significance in MOGS (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2020-10-26). AlphaMissense: likely benign (0.167); Very rare (popmax 0.00473%, sas); Associated with MOGS-congenital disorder of glycosylation.

What condition is associated with MOGS p.Arg70Trp (c.208C>T)?

MOGS p.Arg70Trp (c.208C>T) is associated with MOGS-congenital disorder of glycosylation (ClinVar).

How common is MOGS p.Arg70Trp (c.208C>T) in the general population?

MOGS p.Arg70Trp (c.208C>T) is very rare (popmax 0.00473%, sas) (gnomAD).

How is MOGS-CDG inherited?

Typically Autosomal recessive (Orphanet). A genetic counselor can assess individual risk for a family.

What do computational predictors say about MOGS p.Arg70Trp (c.208C>T)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely benign (score 0.167) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

ClinVar classifies this uncertain; the computational predictors unanimously lean tolerated — a triage signal, not a reclassification

AlphaMissense carries the ACMG weight for missense; REVEL and SaProt are independent agreement signals.

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.
