Is NPHP1 p.Val75Leu (c.223G>C) pathogenic?

NPHP1 p.Val75Leu (c.223G>C) is classified Uncertain significance in NPHP1 (ClinVar, Multiple submitters, 2 submitters; last evaluated 2021-07-01). AlphaMissense: likely benign (0.3366); Very rare (popmax 0.000509%, nfe); Associated with nephronophthisis.

What condition is associated with NPHP1 p.Val75Leu (c.223G>C)?

NPHP1 p.Val75Leu (c.223G>C) is associated with nephronophthisis, Joubert syndrome with renal defect (ClinVar).

How common is NPHP1 p.Val75Leu (c.223G>C) in the general population?

NPHP1 p.Val75Leu (c.223G>C) is very rare (popmax 0.000509%, nfe) (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.Val75Leu (c.223G>C)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely benign (score 0.3366) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

Computational evidence

Protein change
AlphaMissense	0.3366	likely benign
REVEL	0.159	moderately benign-leaning
SaProt	LLR -8.78	tolerated
⇒ AlphaMissense, REVEL and SaProt all call this tolerated.

Overall

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.

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.
