What condition is associated with TYK2 p.Asp163= (c.489C>T)?

TYK2 p.Asp163= (c.489C>T) is associated with immunodeficiency 35 (ClinVar).

How common is TYK2 p.Asp163= (c.489C>T) in the general population?

TYK2 p.Asp163= (c.489C>T) is ultra-rare (popmax 0.0164%, mid) (gnomAD).

TYK2 p.Asp163=

Q: How is Susceptibility to infection due to TYK2 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.
