Is POMT2 p.Pro571= (c.1713T>C) pathogenic?

POMT2 p.Pro571= (c.1713T>C) is classified Likely benign in POMT2 (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2023-05-21). Very rare (popmax 0.00223%, eas); Associated with muscular dystrophy-dystroglycanopathy (congenital with brain and eye anomalies), type A2.

What condition is associated with POMT2 p.Pro571= (c.1713T>C)?

POMT2 p.Pro571= (c.1713T>C) is associated with muscular dystrophy-dystroglycanopathy (congenital with brain and eye anomalies), type A2, muscular dystrophy-dystroglycanopathy (congenital with intellectual disability), type B2, autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2N (ClinVar).

How common is POMT2 p.Pro571= (c.1713T>C) in the general population?

POMT2 p.Pro571= (c.1713T>C) is very rare (popmax 0.00223%, eas) (gnomAD).

How is Walker-Warburg syndrome inherited?

Typically 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.
