Is PRDM16 p.Arg950Pro (c.2849G>C) pathogenic?

PRDM16 p.Arg950Pro (c.2849G>C) is classified Uncertain significance in PRDM16 (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2020-08-06). AlphaMissense: likely pathogenic (0.9808); Very rare (popmax 0.00534%, afr); Associated with left ventricular noncompaction 8.

What condition is associated with PRDM16 p.Arg950Pro (c.2849G>C)?

PRDM16 p.Arg950Pro (c.2849G>C) is associated with left ventricular noncompaction 8 (ClinVar).

How common is PRDM16 p.Arg950Pro (c.2849G>C) in the general population?

PRDM16 p.Arg950Pro (c.2849G>C) is very rare (popmax 0.00534%, afr) (gnomAD).

How is Left ventricular noncompaction inherited?

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

What do computational predictors say about PRDM16 p.Arg950Pro (c.2849G>C)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely pathogenic (score 0.9808) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

REVEL	0.465	indeterminate
SaProt	LLR -12.85	damaging
⇒ AlphaMissense and SaProt both call this damaging; REVEL is indeterminate.

ClinVar classifies this uncertain; the computational predictors unanimously lean damaging — 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.
