What condition is associated with NPHP4 p.Arg807His (c.2420G>A)?

NPHP4 p.Arg807His (c.2420G>A) is associated with nephronophthisis (ClinVar).

How common is NPHP4 p.Arg807His (c.2420G>A) in the general population?

NPHP4 p.Arg807His (c.2420G>A) is very rare (popmax 0.00333%, 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 NPHP4 p.Arg807His (c.2420G>A)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely benign (score 0.0722) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

Protein change
AlphaMissense	0.0722	likely benign

SaProt	LLR -6.74	tolerated
⇒ AlphaMissense, REVEL and SaProt all call this tolerated.

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.
