Is PC p.Arg5Gln (c.14G>A) pathogenic?

PC p.Arg5Gln (c.14G>A) is classified Likely benign in PC (ClinVar, Multiple submitters, 2 submitters; last evaluated 2026-01-12). AlphaMissense: likely benign (0.0979); Very rare (popmax 0.009%, amr); Associated with pyruvate carboxylase deficiency disease.

What condition is associated with PC p.Arg5Gln (c.14G>A)?

PC p.Arg5Gln (c.14G>A) is associated with pyruvate carboxylase deficiency disease (ClinVar).

How common is PC p.Arg5Gln (c.14G>A) in the general population?

PC p.Arg5Gln (c.14G>A) is very rare (popmax 0.009%, amr) (gnomAD).

How is Pyruvate carboxylase deficiency inherited?

Typically Autosomal recessive, Not applicable (Orphanet). A genetic counselor can assess individual risk for a family.

What do computational predictors say about PC p.Arg5Gln (c.14G>A)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely benign (score 0.0979) — 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.
