Is SGCA p.Ser155Arg (c.465C>G) pathogenic?

SGCA p.Ser155Arg (c.465C>G) is classified Uncertain significance in SGCA (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2021-03-23). AlphaMissense: likely benign (0.1676); Absent from gnomAD v4.1; Associated with autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2D.

What condition is associated with SGCA p.Ser155Arg (c.465C>G)?

SGCA p.Ser155Arg (c.465C>G) is associated with autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2D (ClinVar).

How common is SGCA p.Ser155Arg (c.465C>G) in the general population?

SGCA p.Ser155Arg (c.465C>G) is absent from gnomAD v4.1 (gnomAD).

What do computational predictors say about SGCA p.Ser155Arg (c.465C>G)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely benign (score 0.1676) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

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.
