Is OAT p.Leu437Phe (c.1311G>C) pathogenic?

OAT p.Leu437Phe (c.1311G>C) is classified Benign in OAT (ClinVar, No assertion criteria, 1 submitter; last evaluated 1992-02-15). AlphaMissense: likely benign (0.1017); Absent from gnomAD v4.1; Associated with ornithine aminotransferase deficiency.

What condition is associated with OAT p.Leu437Phe (c.1311G>C)?

OAT p.Leu437Phe (c.1311G>C) is associated with ornithine aminotransferase deficiency (ClinVar).

How common is OAT p.Leu437Phe (c.1311G>C) in the general population?

OAT p.Leu437Phe (c.1311G>C) is absent from gnomAD v4.1 (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.Leu437Phe (c.1311G>C)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely benign (score 0.1017) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.
