Is OAT p.Asn326Ser (c.977A>G) pathogenic?

OAT p.Asn326Ser (c.977A>G) is classified Uncertain significance in OAT (ClinVar, Multiple submitters, 3 submitters; last evaluated 2022-07-12). AlphaMissense: likely benign (0.1489); Very rare (popmax 0.00534%, afr); Associated with ornithine aminotransferase deficiency.

What condition is associated with OAT p.Asn326Ser (c.977A>G)?

OAT p.Asn326Ser (c.977A>G) is associated with ornithine aminotransferase deficiency (ClinVar).

How common is OAT p.Asn326Ser (c.977A>G) in the general population?

OAT p.Asn326Ser (c.977A>G) is very rare (popmax 0.00534%, afr) (gnomAD).

How is Gyrate atrophy of choroid and retina inherited?

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

What do computational predictors say about OAT p.Asn326Ser (c.977A>G)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely benign (score 0.1489) — 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.
