Is NPHP1 p.Val508Gly (c.1523T>G) pathogenic?

NPHP1 p.Val508Gly (c.1523T>G) is classified Uncertain significance in NPHP1 (ClinVar, Multiple submitters, 4 submitters; last evaluated 2024-11-06). AlphaMissense: likely benign (0.1301); Ultra-rare (popmax 0.015%, amr); Associated with nephronophthisis.

What condition is associated with NPHP1 p.Val508Gly (c.1523T>G)?

NPHP1 p.Val508Gly (c.1523T>G) is associated with nephronophthisis, nephronophthisis 1, Senior-Loken syndrome 1 (ClinVar).

How common is NPHP1 p.Val508Gly (c.1523T>G) in the general population?

NPHP1 p.Val508Gly (c.1523T>G) is ultra-rare (popmax 0.015%, amr) (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.Val508Gly (c.1523T>G)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely benign (score 0.1301) — 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 V563G vs ClinVar V508G) — 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.
