Is RAG1 p.Val65Ala (c.194T>C) pathogenic?

RAG1 p.Val65Ala (c.194T>C) is classified Uncertain significance in RAG1 (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2022-08-09). AlphaMissense: likely benign (0.0839); Very rare (popmax 0.00833%, amr); Associated with severe combined immunodeficiency, autosomal recessive, T cell-negative, B cell-negative, NK cell-positive.

How common is RAG1 p.Val65Ala (c.194T>C) in the general population?

RAG1 p.Val65Ala (c.194T>C) is very rare (popmax 0.00833%, amr) (gnomAD).

What do computational predictors say about RAG1 p.Val65Ala (c.194T>C)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely benign (score 0.0839) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

RAG1 p.Val65Ala

Q: What condition is associated with RAG1 p.Val65Ala (c.194T>C)?

RAG1 p.Val65Ala (c.194T>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.

SaProt	LLR -6.20	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.
