SETX p.Arg1769=

Q: What condition is associated with SETX p.Arg1769= (c.5307A>G)?

SETX p.Arg1769= (c.5307A>G) is associated with spinocerebellar ataxia, autosomal recessive, with axonal neuropathy 2, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis type 4 (ClinVar).

Q: How is Spinocerebellar ataxia with axonal neuropathy type 2 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.
