Is NF1 p.Phe2236= (c.6708T>C) pathogenic?

NF1 p.Phe2236= (c.6708T>C) is classified Likely benign in NF1 (ClinVar, Multiple submitters, 2 submitters; last evaluated 2024-03-26). Very rare (popmax 0.000339%, nfe); Associated with neurofibromatosis type 1.

What condition is associated with NF1 p.Phe2236= (c.6708T>C)?

NF1 p.Phe2236= (c.6708T>C) is associated with neurofibromatosis type 1, hereditary neoplastic syndrome (ClinVar).

How common is NF1 p.Phe2236= (c.6708T>C) in the general population?

NF1 p.Phe2236= (c.6708T>C) is very rare (popmax 0.000339%, nfe) (gnomAD).

How is Neurofibromatosis type 1 inherited?

Typically Autosomal dominant (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.
