What condition is associated with NAGA p.Arg97= (c.291C>T)?

NAGA p.Arg97= (c.291C>T) is associated with alpha-N-acetylgalactosaminidase deficiency type 1 (ClinVar).

How common is NAGA p.Arg97= (c.291C>T) in the general population?

NAGA p.Arg97= (c.291C>T) is very rare (popmax 0.00167%, amr) (gnomAD).

How is Alpha-N-acetylgalactosaminidase deficiency 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.
