What condition is associated with NEB p.Lys992= (c.2976G>A)?

NEB p.Lys992= (c.2976G>A) is associated with nemaline myopathy 2 (ClinVar).

How common is NEB p.Lys992= (c.2976G>A) in the general population?

NEB p.Lys992= (c.2976G>A) is very rare (popmax 0.00102%, nfe) (gnomAD).

How is Severe congenital nemaline myopathy 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.
