Is PRRT2 p.Ala320= (c.960G>A) pathogenic?

PRRT2 p.Ala320= (c.960G>A) is classified Benign/Likely benign in PRRT2 (ClinVar, Multiple submitters, 4 submitters; last evaluated 2025-09-07). Ultra-rare (popmax 0.021%, sas); Associated with episodic kinesigenic dyskinesia.

What condition is associated with PRRT2 p.Ala320= (c.960G>A)?

PRRT2 p.Ala320= (c.960G>A) is associated with episodic kinesigenic dyskinesia (ClinVar).

How common is PRRT2 p.Ala320= (c.960G>A) in the general population?

PRRT2 p.Ala320= (c.960G>A) is ultra-rare (popmax 0.021%, sas) (gnomAD).

How is Paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia inherited?

Typically Autosomal dominant, Not applicable (Orphanet). A genetic counselor can assess individual risk for a family.

Finnish shows a higher raw frequency than the grpmax group above it. gnomAD excludes bottlenecked groups — Finnish, Ashkenazi Jewish, Amish and “Remaining individuals” — from grpmax, because founder effects make their frequencies unrepresentative for filtering. The table is sorted by frequency, so an excluded group can sit above the grpmax row.

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.
