Is PSAP p.Ala14Val (c.41C>T) pathogenic?

PSAP p.Ala14Val (c.41C>T) is classified Uncertain significance in PSAP (ClinVar, Single submitter, 2 submitters; last evaluated 2026-01-13). AlphaMissense: likely benign (0.2551); Absent from gnomAD v4.1; Associated with metachromatic leukodystrophy.

What condition is associated with PSAP p.Ala14Val (c.41C>T)?

PSAP p.Ala14Val (c.41C>T) is associated with metachromatic leukodystrophy (ClinVar).

How common is PSAP p.Ala14Val (c.41C>T) in the general population?

PSAP p.Ala14Val (c.41C>T) is absent from gnomAD v4.1 (gnomAD).

How is Metachromatic leukodystrophy inherited?

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

What do computational predictors say about PSAP p.Ala14Val (c.41C>T)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely benign (score 0.2551) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

ClinVar classifies this uncertain; the computational predictors unanimously lean tolerated — a triage signal, not a reclassification

AlphaMissense carries the ACMG weight for missense; REVEL and SaProt are independent agreement signals.
