Is PRDM8 p.Glu450Asp (c.1350G>T) pathogenic?

PRDM8 p.Glu450Asp (c.1350G>T) is classified Uncertain significance in PRDM8 (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2020-12-19). AlphaMissense: likely benign (0.0912); Absent from gnomAD v4.1; Associated with early-onset Lafora body disease.

What condition is associated with PRDM8 p.Glu450Asp (c.1350G>T)?

PRDM8 p.Glu450Asp (c.1350G>T) is associated with early-onset Lafora body disease (ClinVar).

How common is PRDM8 p.Glu450Asp (c.1350G>T) in the general population?

PRDM8 p.Glu450Asp (c.1350G>T) is absent from gnomAD v4.1 (gnomAD).

How is PRDM8-related progressive myoclonus epilepsy inherited?

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

What do computational predictors say about PRDM8 p.Glu450Asp (c.1350G>T)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely benign (score 0.0912) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.
