Is NPHP3 p.Ile343Val (c.1027A>G) pathogenic?

NPHP3 p.Ile343Val (c.1027A>G) is classified Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity in NPHP3 (ClinVar, Conflicting submitters, 3 submitters; last evaluated 2024-02-14). AlphaMissense: likely benign (0.0604); Ultra-rare (popmax 0.0121%, afr); Associated with nephronophthisis.

What condition is associated with NPHP3 p.Ile343Val (c.1027A>G)?

NPHP3 p.Ile343Val (c.1027A>G) is associated with nephronophthisis, renal-hepatic-pancreatic dysplasia 1, NPHP3-related Meckel-like syndrome (ClinVar).

How common is NPHP3 p.Ile343Val (c.1027A>G) in the general population?

NPHP3 p.Ile343Val (c.1027A>G) is ultra-rare (popmax 0.0121%, afr) (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 NPHP3 p.Ile343Val (c.1027A>G)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely benign (score 0.0604) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

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.
