What condition is associated with NPHP3 p.Asp475= (c.1425T>C)?

NPHP3 p.Asp475= (c.1425T>C) is associated with nephronophthisis (ClinVar).

How common is NPHP3 p.Asp475= (c.1425T>C) in the general population?

NPHP3 p.Asp475= (c.1425T>C) is very rare (popmax 0.0022%, nfe) (gnomAD).

How is Nephronophthisis inherited?

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

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.
