Is MPI c.16+8A>T pathogenic?

MPI c.16+8A>T is classified Likely benign in MPI (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2025-09-17). Very rare (popmax 0.00167%, amr); Associated with MPI-congenital disorder of glycosylation.

What condition is associated with MPI c.16+8A>T?

MPI c.16+8A>T is associated with MPI-congenital disorder of glycosylation (ClinVar).

How common is MPI c.16+8A>T in the general population?

MPI c.16+8A>T is very rare (popmax 0.00167%, amr) (gnomAD).

How is MPI-CDG 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.
