Is PEX1 p.Arg1206Ile (c.3617G>T) pathogenic?

PEX1 p.Arg1206Ile (c.3617G>T) is classified Uncertain significance in PEX1 (ClinVar, Single submitter, 2 submitters; last evaluated 2022-03-03). AlphaMissense: likely benign (0.1665); Very rare (popmax 0.00446%, eas); Associated with Zellweger spectrum disorders.

What condition is associated with PEX1 p.Arg1206Ile (c.3617G>T)?

PEX1 p.Arg1206Ile (c.3617G>T) is associated with Zellweger spectrum disorders (ClinVar).

How common is PEX1 p.Arg1206Ile (c.3617G>T) in the general population?

PEX1 p.Arg1206Ile (c.3617G>T) is very rare (popmax 0.00446%, eas) (gnomAD).

How is Zellweger syndrome inherited?

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

What do computational predictors say about PEX1 p.Arg1206Ile (c.3617G>T)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely benign (score 0.1665) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

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.
