Is SLC19A3 p.Cys372Trp (c.1116C>G) pathogenic?

SLC19A3 p.Cys372Trp (c.1116C>G) is classified Uncertain significance in SLC19A3 (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2022-09-01). AlphaMissense: likely pathogenic (0.822); Very rare (popmax 0.000339%, nfe); Associated with biotin-responsive basal ganglia disease.

What condition is associated with SLC19A3 p.Cys372Trp (c.1116C>G)?

SLC19A3 p.Cys372Trp (c.1116C>G) is associated with biotin-responsive basal ganglia disease (ClinVar).

How common is SLC19A3 p.Cys372Trp (c.1116C>G) in the general population?

SLC19A3 p.Cys372Trp (c.1116C>G) is very rare (popmax 0.000339%, nfe) (gnomAD).

How is Thiamine-responsive encephalopathy inherited?

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

What do computational predictors say about SLC19A3 p.Cys372Trp (c.1116C>G)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely pathogenic (score 0.822) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

AlphaMissense	0.822	likely pathogenic · top 8% in SLC19A3
REVEL	0.638	indeterminate
SaProt	LLR -11.16	damaging
⇒ AlphaMissense and SaProt both call this damaging; REVEL is indeterminate.

ClinVar classifies this uncertain; the computational predictors unanimously lean damaging — a triage signal, not a reclassification

AlphaMissense carries the ACMG weight for missense; REVEL and SaProt are independent agreement signals.

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.
