What condition is associated with NF2 p.Cys37= (c.111C>T)?

NF2 p.Cys37= (c.111C>T) is associated with NF2-related schwannomatosis (ClinVar).

How common is NF2 p.Cys37= (c.111C>T) in the general population?

NF2 p.Cys37= (c.111C>T) is very rare (popmax 0.00112%, sas) (gnomAD).

How is Full NF2-related schwannomatosis 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.
