Is SUN2 p.Ser402Phe (c.1205C>T) pathogenic?

SUN2 p.Ser402Phe (c.1205C>T) is classified Uncertain significance in SUN2 (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2025-08-29). AlphaMissense: likely benign (0.1828); Ultra-rare (popmax 0.054%, eas); Associated with Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy.

What condition is associated with SUN2 p.Ser402Phe (c.1205C>T)?

SUN2 p.Ser402Phe (c.1205C>T) is associated with Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy (ClinVar).

How common is SUN2 p.Ser402Phe (c.1205C>T) in the general population?

SUN2 p.Ser402Phe (c.1205C>T) is ultra-rare (popmax 0.054%, eas) (gnomAD).

How is Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy inherited?

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

What do computational predictors say about SUN2 p.Ser402Phe (c.1205C>T)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely benign (score 0.1828) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

Computational evidence

Protein change
AlphaMissense	0.1828	likely benign
REVEL	0.015	strongly benign-leaning
SaProt	LLR -3.87	tolerated
⇒ AlphaMissense, REVEL and SaProt all call this tolerated.

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.

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.
