Is MTR p.Ser247= (c.741C>T) pathogenic?

MTR p.Ser247= (c.741C>T) is classified Likely benign in MTR (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2024-03-13). Very rare (popmax 0.00533%, afr); Associated with methylcobalamin deficiency type cblG.

What condition is associated with MTR p.Ser247= (c.741C>T)?

MTR p.Ser247= (c.741C>T) is associated with methylcobalamin deficiency type cblG (ClinVar).

How common is MTR p.Ser247= (c.741C>T) in the general population?

MTR p.Ser247= (c.741C>T) is very rare (popmax 0.00533%, afr) (gnomAD).

How is Homocystinuria without methylmalonic aciduria 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.
