PLCE1 p.Val171= (c.513G>A) is classified Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity in PLCE1 (ClinVar, Conflicting submitters, 7 submitters; last evaluated 2026-01-12). Low-frequency (popmax 1.68%, mid); Associated with nephrotic syndrome, type 3.

What condition is associated with PLCE1 p.Val171= (c.513G>A)?

PLCE1 p.Val171= (c.513G>A) is associated with nephrotic syndrome, type 3, focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (ClinVar).

How common is PLCE1 p.Val171= (c.513G>A) in the general population?

PLCE1 p.Val171= (c.513G>A) is low-frequency (popmax 1.68%, mid) (gnomAD).

PLCE1 p.Val171=

Q: How is Hereditary steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome 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.
