Is PARN p.Pro38Ser (c.112C>T) pathogenic?

PARN p.Pro38Ser (c.112C>T) is classified Uncertain significance in PARN (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2021-10-24). AlphaMissense: likely benign (0.2834); Very rare (popmax 8.59e-05%, nfe); Associated with dyskeratosis congenita, autosomal recessive 6.

What condition is associated with PARN p.Pro38Ser (c.112C>T)?

PARN p.Pro38Ser (c.112C>T) is associated with dyskeratosis congenita, autosomal recessive 6, pulmonary fibrosis and/or bone marrow failure, Telomere-related, 4 (ClinVar).

How common is PARN p.Pro38Ser (c.112C>T) in the general population?

PARN p.Pro38Ser (c.112C>T) is very rare (popmax 8.59e-05%, nfe) (gnomAD).

How is Dyskeratosis congenita inherited?

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

What do computational predictors say about PARN p.Pro38Ser (c.112C>T)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely benign (score 0.2834) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

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