Is RB1 p.Ala15= (c.45T>G) pathogenic?

RB1 p.Ala15= (c.45T>G) is classified Benign/Likely benign in RB1 (ClinVar, Multiple submitters, 3 submitters; last evaluated 2026-06-23). Absent from gnomAD v4.1; Associated with retinoblastoma.

What condition is associated with RB1 p.Ala15= (c.45T>G)?

RB1 p.Ala15= (c.45T>G) is associated with retinoblastoma, hereditary neoplastic syndrome (ClinVar).

How common is RB1 p.Ala15= (c.45T>G) in the general population?

RB1 p.Ala15= (c.45T>G) is absent from gnomAD v4.1 (gnomAD).

How is Retinoblastoma inherited?

Typically Autosomal dominant, Not applicable (Orphanet). A genetic counselor can assess individual risk for a family.
