What condition is associated with NLRC4 p.Asp952= (c.2856T>C)?

NLRC4 p.Asp952= (c.2856T>C) is associated with familial cold autoinflammatory syndrome 4, periodic fever-infantile enterocolitis-autoinflammatory syndrome (ClinVar).

How common is NLRC4 p.Asp952= (c.2856T>C) in the general population?

NLRC4 p.Asp952= (c.2856T>C) is very rare (popmax 0.00892%, eas) (gnomAD).

NLRC4 p.Asp952=

Q: How is NLRC4-related familial cold autoinflammatory syndrome 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.
