Is OTC p.Val142= (c.426G>A) pathogenic?

OTC p.Val142= (c.426G>A) is classified Likely benign in OTC (ClinVar, Multiple submitters, 2 submitters; last evaluated 2025-09-30). Very rare (popmax 0.00417%, nfe); Associated with ornithine carbamoyltransferase deficiency.

What condition is associated with OTC p.Val142= (c.426G>A)?

OTC p.Val142= (c.426G>A) is associated with ornithine carbamoyltransferase deficiency (ClinVar).

How common is OTC p.Val142= (c.426G>A) in the general population?

OTC p.Val142= (c.426G>A) is very rare (popmax 0.00417%, nfe) (gnomAD).

How is Ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency inherited?

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

Remaining individuals shows a higher raw frequency than the grpmax group above it. gnomAD excludes bottlenecked groups — Finnish, Ashkenazi Jewish, Amish and “Remaining individuals” — from grpmax, because founder effects make their frequencies unrepresentative for filtering. The table is sorted by frequency, so an excluded group can sit above the grpmax row.

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.
