Is NPHP1 p.Pro449Leu (c.1346C>T) pathogenic?

NPHP1 p.Pro449Leu (c.1346C>T) is classified Uncertain significance in NPHP1 (ClinVar, Multiple submitters, 2 submitters; last evaluated 2021-06-14). AlphaMissense: likely benign (0.1132); Absent from gnomAD v4.1; Associated with nephronophthisis.

What condition is associated with NPHP1 p.Pro449Leu (c.1346C>T)?

NPHP1 p.Pro449Leu (c.1346C>T) is associated with nephronophthisis (ClinVar).

How common is NPHP1 p.Pro449Leu (c.1346C>T) in the general population?

NPHP1 p.Pro449Leu (c.1346C>T) is absent from gnomAD v4.1 (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.Pro449Leu (c.1346C>T)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely benign (score 0.1132) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

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 P504L vs ClinVar P449L) — verify the residue.
