How common is PDGFRB p.Asp166= (c.498C>T) in the general population?

PDGFRB p.Asp166= (c.498C>T) is ultra-rare (popmax 0.0165%, mid) (gnomAD).

How is Bilateral striopallidodentate calcinosis inherited?

Typically Autosomal dominant, 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.
