Is OAT p.His408Asp (c.1222C>G) pathogenic?

OAT p.His408Asp (c.1222C>G) is classified Uncertain significance in OAT (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2021-12-28). AlphaMissense: likely pathogenic (0.9116); Very rare (popmax 6.2e-05%); Associated with ornithine aminotransferase deficiency.

What condition is associated with OAT p.His408Asp (c.1222C>G)?

OAT p.His408Asp (c.1222C>G) is associated with ornithine aminotransferase deficiency (ClinVar).

How common is OAT p.His408Asp (c.1222C>G) in the general population?

OAT p.His408Asp (c.1222C>G) is very rare (popmax 6.2e-05%) (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.His408Asp (c.1222C>G)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely pathogenic (score 0.9116) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

ClinVar classifies this uncertain; the computational predictors unanimously lean damaging — 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.
