How common is SKI p.Asp181= (c.543C>T) in the general population?

SKI p.Asp181= (c.543C>T) is very rare (popmax 0.00403%, afr) (gnomAD).

SKI p.Asp181=

Q: What condition is associated with SKI p.Asp181= (c.543C>T)?

SKI p.Asp181= (c.543C>T) is associated with familial thoracic aortic aneurysm and aortic dissection, Shprintzen-Goldberg syndrome (ClinVar).

Q: How is Familial thoracic aortic aneurysm and aortic dissection inherited?

Typically Autosomal dominant (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.
