Is NPHP4 p.Thr936= (c.2808G>A) pathogenic?

NPHP4 p.Thr936= (c.2808G>A) is classified Benign in NPHP4 (ClinVar, Multiple submitters, 6 submitters; last evaluated 2026-02-01). Low-frequency (popmax 4.17%, afr); Associated with nephronophthisis.

What condition is associated with NPHP4 p.Thr936= (c.2808G>A)?

NPHP4 p.Thr936= (c.2808G>A) is associated with nephronophthisis, nephronophthisis 4, Senior-Loken syndrome 4 (ClinVar).

How common is NPHP4 p.Thr936= (c.2808G>A) in the general population?

NPHP4 p.Thr936= (c.2808G>A) is low-frequency (popmax 4.17%, afr) (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.
