Is PCCB p.Pro359= (c.1077T>C) pathogenic?

PCCB p.Pro359= (c.1077T>C) is classified Likely benign in PCCB (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2023-02-09). Very rare (popmax 0.005%, amr); Associated with propionic acidemia.

What condition is associated with PCCB p.Pro359= (c.1077T>C)?

PCCB p.Pro359= (c.1077T>C) is associated with propionic acidemia (ClinVar).

How common is PCCB p.Pro359= (c.1077T>C) in the general population?

PCCB p.Pro359= (c.1077T>C) is very rare (popmax 0.005%, amr) (gnomAD).

How is Propionic acidemia inherited?

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

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.
