Is SYNJ1 p.Pro1108= (c.3324G>A) pathogenic?

SYNJ1 p.Pro1108= (c.3324G>A) is classified Likely benign in SYNJ1 (ClinVar, Multiple submitters, 2 submitters; last evaluated 2022-08-27). Ultra-rare (popmax 0.0186%, sas); Associated with early-onset Parkinson disease 20.

What condition is associated with SYNJ1 p.Pro1108= (c.3324G>A)?

SYNJ1 p.Pro1108= (c.3324G>A) is associated with early-onset Parkinson disease 20, developmental and epileptic encephalopathy, 53 (ClinVar).

How common is SYNJ1 p.Pro1108= (c.3324G>A) in the general population?

SYNJ1 p.Pro1108= (c.3324G>A) is ultra-rare (popmax 0.0186%, sas) (gnomAD).

How is Young-onset Parkinson disease 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.
