Is PHEX p.Ala84Asp (c.251C>A) pathogenic?

PHEX p.Ala84Asp (c.251C>A) is classified Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity in PHEX (ClinVar, Conflicting submitters, 2 submitters; last evaluated 2025-01-06). AlphaMissense: likely pathogenic (0.9953); Absent from gnomAD v4.1; Associated with X-linked dominant hypophosphatemic rickets.

What condition is associated with PHEX p.Ala84Asp (c.251C>A)?

PHEX p.Ala84Asp (c.251C>A) is associated with X-linked dominant hypophosphatemic rickets (ClinVar).

How common is PHEX p.Ala84Asp (c.251C>A) in the general population?

PHEX p.Ala84Asp (c.251C>A) is absent from gnomAD v4.1 (gnomAD).

How is X-linked hypophosphatemia inherited?

Typically X-linked dominant (Orphanet). A genetic counselor can assess individual risk for a family.

What do computational predictors say about PHEX p.Ala84Asp (c.251C>A)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely pathogenic (score 0.9953) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.
