Is STXBP2 p.Pro79= (c.237C>T) pathogenic?

STXBP2 p.Pro79= (c.237C>T) is classified Likely benign in STXBP2 (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2023-07-16). Very rare (popmax 0.000254%, nfe); Associated with familial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis 5.

What condition is associated with STXBP2 p.Pro79= (c.237C>T)?

STXBP2 p.Pro79= (c.237C>T) is associated with familial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis 5 (ClinVar).

How common is STXBP2 p.Pro79= (c.237C>T) in the general population?

STXBP2 p.Pro79= (c.237C>T) is very rare (popmax 0.000254%, nfe) (gnomAD).

How is Familial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis 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.
