What condition is associated with PRF1 p.Gly445= (c.1335C>T)?

PRF1 p.Gly445= (c.1335C>T) is associated with familial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis 2 (ClinVar).

How common is PRF1 p.Gly445= (c.1335C>T) in the general population?

PRF1 p.Gly445= (c.1335C>T) is very rare (popmax 0.00133%, afr) (gnomAD).

How is Familial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis 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.
