Is VCL p.Ala271Asp (c.812C>A) pathogenic?

VCL p.Ala271Asp (c.812C>A) is classified Uncertain significance in VCL (ClinVar, Multiple submitters, 2 submitters; last evaluated 2025-11-20). AlphaMissense: ambiguous (0.4302); Absent from gnomAD v4.1; Associated with dilated cardiomyopathy 1W.

What condition is associated with VCL p.Ala271Asp (c.812C>A)?

VCL p.Ala271Asp (c.812C>A) is associated with dilated cardiomyopathy 1W (ClinVar).

How common is VCL p.Ala271Asp (c.812C>A) in the general population?

VCL p.Ala271Asp (c.812C>A) is absent from gnomAD v4.1 (gnomAD).

How is Familial isolated dilated cardiomyopathy inherited?

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

What do computational predictors say about VCL p.Ala271Asp (c.812C>A)?

AlphaMissense predicts ambiguous (score 0.4302) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.
