Q: What condition is associated with RAG1 p.Arg489Ser (c.1467G>C)?

RAG1 p.Arg489Ser (c.1467G>C) is associated with severe combined immunodeficiency, autosomal recessive, T cell-negative, B cell-negative, NK cell-positive, combined immunodeficiency with skin granulomas (ClinVar).

Q: How is Severe combined immunodeficiency due to complete RAG1/2 deficiency 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.
