What condition is associated with USH2A p.Ser2833= (c.8499T>C)?

USH2A p.Ser2833= (c.8499T>C) is associated with retinitis pigmentosa 39, Usher syndrome type 2A (ClinVar).

How common is USH2A p.Ser2833= (c.8499T>C) in the general population?

USH2A p.Ser2833= (c.8499T>C) is ultra-rare (popmax 0.0604%, sas) (gnomAD).

How is Retinitis pigmentosa inherited?

Typically Autosomal dominant, 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.
