Is NPHP1 p.Met486Val (c.1456A>G) pathogenic?

NPHP1 p.Met486Val (c.1456A>G) is classified Uncertain significance in NPHP1 (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2021-10-11). AlphaMissense: likely benign (0.1356); Ultra-rare (popmax 0.0165%, mid); Associated with nephronophthisis.

What condition is associated with NPHP1 p.Met486Val (c.1456A>G)?

NPHP1 p.Met486Val (c.1456A>G) is associated with nephronophthisis (ClinVar).

How common is NPHP1 p.Met486Val (c.1456A>G) in the general population?

NPHP1 p.Met486Val (c.1456A>G) is ultra-rare (popmax 0.0165%, mid) (gnomAD).

How is Nephronophthisis inherited?

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

What do computational predictors say about NPHP1 p.Met486Val (c.1456A>G)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely benign (score 0.1356) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

Computational evidence

Protein change
AlphaMissense	0.1356	likely benign
REVEL	0.125	moderately benign-leaning
SaProt	LLR -6.01	tolerated
⇒ AlphaMissense, REVEL and SaProt all call this tolerated.
Splicing
SpliceAI	<0.2	no splice effect predicted · four deltas, not one · how we know

Regional constraint	o/e 0.96	unconstrained · MANE · 81 kb · p 0.26 · regional, not allelic
Overall
CADD	18.63	PHRED · no single calibrated threshold — expert panels disagree

ClinVar classifies this uncertain; the computational predictors unanimously lean tolerated — a triage signal, not a reclassification

AlphaMissense carries the ACMG weight for missense; REVEL and SaProt are independent agreement signals.

⚠ Isoform check: AlphaMissense numbered on a different transcript (AM M541V vs ClinVar M486V) — verify the residue.

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.
