Is RAG1 p.Pro85Ala (c.253C>G) pathogenic?

RAG1 p.Pro85Ala (c.253C>G) is classified Uncertain significance in RAG1 (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2022-06-20). AlphaMissense: likely benign (0.0727); Very rare (popmax 0.000254%, nfe); Associated with combined immunodeficiency with skin granulomas.

What condition is associated with RAG1 p.Pro85Ala (c.253C>G)?

RAG1 p.Pro85Ala (c.253C>G) is associated with combined immunodeficiency with skin granulomas, severe combined immunodeficiency, autosomal recessive, T cell-negative, B cell-negative, NK cell-positive (ClinVar).

How common is RAG1 p.Pro85Ala (c.253C>G) in the general population?

RAG1 p.Pro85Ala (c.253C>G) is very rare (popmax 0.000254%, nfe) (gnomAD).

How is Combined immunodeficiency with granulomatosis inherited?

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

What do computational predictors say about RAG1 p.Pro85Ala (c.253C>G)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely benign (score 0.0727) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

REVEL	0.031	moderately benign-leaning
SaProt	LLR -6.43	tolerated
⇒ AlphaMissense, REVEL and SaProt all call this tolerated.

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.

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.
