Is SETX p.Ile809Met (c.2427C>G) pathogenic?

SETX p.Ile809Met (c.2427C>G) is classified Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity in SETX (ClinVar, Conflicting submitters, 3 submitters; last evaluated 2023-10-23). AlphaMissense: likely benign (0.0824); Very rare (popmax 0.00314%, nfe); Associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis type 4.

What condition is associated with SETX p.Ile809Met (c.2427C>G)?

SETX p.Ile809Met (c.2427C>G) is associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis type 4, spinocerebellar ataxia, autosomal recessive, with axonal neuropathy 2, hereditary spastic paraplegia (ClinVar).

How common is SETX p.Ile809Met (c.2427C>G) in the general population?

SETX p.Ile809Met (c.2427C>G) is very rare (popmax 0.00314%, nfe) (gnomAD).

How is Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis type 4 inherited?

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

What do computational predictors say about SETX p.Ile809Met (c.2427C>G)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely benign (score 0.0824) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

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.
