Is PCNA p.Val123Ile (c.367G>A) pathogenic?

PCNA p.Val123Ile (c.367G>A) is classified Uncertain significance in PCNA (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2025-08-26). AlphaMissense: likely benign (0.1295); Very rare (popmax 0.000255%, nfe).

How common is PCNA p.Val123Ile (c.367G>A) in the general population?

PCNA p.Val123Ile (c.367G>A) is very rare (popmax 0.000255%, nfe) (gnomAD).

What do computational predictors say about PCNA p.Val123Ile (c.367G>A)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely benign (score 0.1295) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

Protein change
AlphaMissense	0.1295	likely benign
REVEL	0.065	moderately benign-leaning
SaProt	LLR -4.78	tolerated
⇒ AlphaMissense, REVEL and SaProt all call this tolerated.

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.
