Is NPHP3 p.Leu110Ser (c.329T>C) pathogenic?

NPHP3 p.Leu110Ser (c.329T>C) is classified Uncertain significance in NPHP3 (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2022-11-01). AlphaMissense: likely benign (0.1462); Very rare (popmax 0.00878%, sas); Associated with nephronophthisis.

What condition is associated with NPHP3 p.Leu110Ser (c.329T>C)?

NPHP3 p.Leu110Ser (c.329T>C) is associated with nephronophthisis (ClinVar).

How common is NPHP3 p.Leu110Ser (c.329T>C) in the general population?

NPHP3 p.Leu110Ser (c.329T>C) is very rare (popmax 0.00878%, sas) (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.Leu110Ser (c.329T>C)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely benign (score 0.1462) — 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.

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.
