AlphaMissense: likely benign (0.3373); Very rare (popmax 0.00134%, afr); Associated with primary immunodeficiency with post-measles-mumps-rubella vaccine viral infection.

How common is STAT2 p.Met324Leu (c.970A>C) in the general population?

STAT2 p.Met324Leu (c.970A>C) is very rare (popmax 0.00134%, afr) (gnomAD).

What do computational predictors say about STAT2 p.Met324Leu (c.970A>C)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely benign (score 0.3373) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

STAT2 p.Met324Leu

Q: What condition is associated with STAT2 p.Met324Leu (c.970A>C)?

STAT2 p.Met324Leu (c.970A>C) is associated with primary immunodeficiency with post-measles-mumps-rubella vaccine viral infection (ClinVar).

Q: How is Primary immunodeficiency with post-measles-mumps-rubella vaccine viral infection 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.
