Is UNC13D p.Ala934Pro (c.2800G>C) pathogenic?

UNC13D p.Ala934Pro (c.2800G>C) is classified Uncertain significance in UNC13D (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2022-02-14). AlphaMissense: likely pathogenic (0.9591); Very rare (popmax 0.00178%, amr); Associated with familial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis 3.

What condition is associated with UNC13D p.Ala934Pro (c.2800G>C)?

UNC13D p.Ala934Pro (c.2800G>C) is associated with familial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis 3 (ClinVar).

How common is UNC13D p.Ala934Pro (c.2800G>C) in the general population?

UNC13D p.Ala934Pro (c.2800G>C) is very rare (popmax 0.00178%, amr) (gnomAD).

How is Familial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis inherited?

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

What do computational predictors say about UNC13D p.Ala934Pro (c.2800G>C)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely pathogenic (score 0.9591) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

AlphaMissense	0.9591	likely pathogenic · top 4% in UNC13D
REVEL	0.902	moderately pathogenic-leaning
SaProt	LLR -14.75	damaging
⇒ AlphaMissense, REVEL and SaProt all call this damaging.

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.
