Is NOTCH1 p.Asp545= (c.1635C>T) pathogenic?

NOTCH1 p.Asp545= (c.1635C>T) is classified Benign/Likely benign in NOTCH1 (ClinVar, Multiple submitters, 17 submitters; last evaluated 2026-06-01). Low-frequency (popmax 1.22%, nfe); Associated with familial thoracic aortic aneurysm and aortic dissection.

How common is NOTCH1 p.Asp545= (c.1635C>T) in the general population?

NOTCH1 p.Asp545= (c.1635C>T) is low-frequency (popmax 1.22%, nfe) (gnomAD).

NOTCH1 p.Asp545=

Q: What condition is associated with NOTCH1 p.Asp545= (c.1635C>T)?

NOTCH1 p.Asp545= (c.1635C>T) is associated with familial thoracic aortic aneurysm and aortic dissection, Adams-Oliver syndrome 5, aortic valve disease 1 (ClinVar).

Q: How is Familial thoracic aortic aneurysm and aortic dissection inherited?

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

Amish shows a higher raw frequency than the grpmax group above it. gnomAD excludes bottlenecked groups — Finnish, Ashkenazi Jewish, Amish and “Remaining individuals” — from grpmax, because founder effects make their frequencies unrepresentative for filtering. The table is sorted by frequency, so an excluded group can sit above the grpmax row.

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.
