Is NEB p.Phe218Val (c.652T>G) pathogenic?

NEB p.Phe218Val (c.652T>G) is classified Uncertain significance in NEB (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2021-08-14). AlphaMissense: ambiguous (0.5571); Very rare (popmax 8.49e-05%, nfe); Associated with nemaline myopathy 2.

What condition is associated with NEB p.Phe218Val (c.652T>G)?

NEB p.Phe218Val (c.652T>G) is associated with nemaline myopathy 2 (ClinVar).

How common is NEB p.Phe218Val (c.652T>G) in the general population?

NEB p.Phe218Val (c.652T>G) is very rare (popmax 8.49e-05%, nfe) (gnomAD).

How is Severe congenital nemaline myopathy inherited?

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

What do computational predictors say about NEB p.Phe218Val (c.652T>G)?

AlphaMissense predicts ambiguous (score 0.5571) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

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.
