Is PSAP p.Val376= (c.1128C>T) pathogenic?

PSAP p.Val376= (c.1128C>T) is classified Likely benign in PSAP (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2023-06-07). Very rare (popmax 0.000593%, nfe); Associated with metachromatic leukodystrophy due to saposin B deficiency.

What condition is associated with PSAP p.Val376= (c.1128C>T)?

PSAP p.Val376= (c.1128C>T) is associated with metachromatic leukodystrophy due to saposin B deficiency (ClinVar).

How common is PSAP p.Val376= (c.1128C>T) in the general population?

PSAP p.Val376= (c.1128C>T) is very rare (popmax 0.000593%, nfe) (gnomAD).

How is Metachromatic leukodystrophy 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.
