Is TCN2 p.Ser245= (c.735C>T) pathogenic?

TCN2 p.Ser245= (c.735C>T) is classified Likely benign in TCN2 (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2025-06-11). Very rare (popmax 0.000763%, nfe); Associated with transcobalamin II deficiency.

What condition is associated with TCN2 p.Ser245= (c.735C>T)?

TCN2 p.Ser245= (c.735C>T) is associated with transcobalamin II deficiency (ClinVar).

How common is TCN2 p.Ser245= (c.735C>T) in the general population?

TCN2 p.Ser245= (c.735C>T) is very rare (popmax 0.000763%, nfe) (gnomAD).

How is Transcobalamin deficiency 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.
