Is PCCB p.Ser82= (c.246C>T) pathogenic?

PCCB p.Ser82= (c.246C>T) is classified Likely benign in PCCB (ClinVar, Multiple submitters, 2 submitters; last evaluated 2026-01-09). Ultra-rare (popmax 0.0164%, mid); Associated with propionic acidemia.

What condition is associated with PCCB p.Ser82= (c.246C>T)?

PCCB p.Ser82= (c.246C>T) is associated with propionic acidemia (ClinVar).

How common is PCCB p.Ser82= (c.246C>T) in the general population?

PCCB p.Ser82= (c.246C>T) is ultra-rare (popmax 0.0164%, mid) (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.
