Is TMPO p.Glu70Lys (c.208G>A) pathogenic?

TMPO p.Glu70Lys (c.208G>A) is classified Uncertain significance in TMPO (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2025-10-21). AlphaMissense: likely pathogenic (0.9595); Very rare (popmax 0.00134%, afr); Associated with Loeys-Dietz syndrome 2.

What condition is associated with TMPO p.Glu70Lys (c.208G>A)?

TMPO p.Glu70Lys (c.208G>A) is associated with Loeys-Dietz syndrome 2 (ClinVar).

How common is TMPO p.Glu70Lys (c.208G>A) in the general population?

TMPO p.Glu70Lys (c.208G>A) is very rare (popmax 0.00134%, afr) (gnomAD).

What do computational predictors say about TMPO p.Glu70Lys (c.208G>A)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely pathogenic (score 0.9595) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

TMPO p.Glu70Lys

Q: How is Familial thoracic aortic aneurysm and aortic dissection inherited?

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

Protein change
AlphaMissense	0.9595	likely pathogenic · top 4% in TMPO
REVEL	0.46	indeterminate
SaProt	LLR -11.17	damaging
⇒ AlphaMissense and SaProt both call this damaging; REVEL is indeterminate.

Regional constraint	o/e 1.01	unconstrained · MANE · 28 kb · p 0.89 · regional, not allelic
Overall

ClinVar classifies this uncertain; the computational predictors unanimously lean damaging — 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.
