Is TONSL p.Glu6Gln (c.16G>C) pathogenic?

TONSL p.Glu6Gln (c.16G>C) is classified Uncertain significance in TONSL (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2021-12-06). AlphaMissense: likely benign (0.2076); Very rare (popmax 0.000596%, nfe); Associated with Inborn genetic diseases.

What condition is associated with TONSL p.Glu6Gln (c.16G>C)?

TONSL p.Glu6Gln (c.16G>C) is associated with Inborn genetic diseases (ClinVar).

How common is TONSL p.Glu6Gln (c.16G>C) in the general population?

TONSL p.Glu6Gln (c.16G>C) is very rare (popmax 0.000596%, nfe) (gnomAD).

What do computational predictors say about TONSL p.Glu6Gln (c.16G>C)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely benign (score 0.2076) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

Computational evidence

Protein change
AlphaMissense	0.2076	likely benign
REVEL	0.139	moderately benign-leaning
SaProt	LLR -5.74	tolerated
⇒ AlphaMissense, REVEL and SaProt all call this tolerated.
Splicing

Conservation	phyloP 4.6	GERP 1.8, phastCons 1
Regional constraint	o/e 1.01	unconstrained · MANE · 15 kb · p 0.67 · regional, not allelic
Overall
CADD	24.1	PHRED · no single calibrated threshold — expert panels disagree

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.

Population frequency

Overall 0.000472% 6/1,271,072 alleles · very rare exomes 6/1,119,238 · genomes 0/151,834 · joint denominator

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.
