Is VCL p.Ser288Ile (c.863G>T) pathogenic?

VCL p.Ser288Ile (c.863G>T) is classified Uncertain significance in VCL (ClinVar, Single submitter, 1 submitter; last evaluated 2024-10-16). AlphaMissense: likely benign (0.1366); Very rare (popmax 0.00167%, amr); Associated with dilated cardiomyopathy 1W.

What condition is associated with VCL p.Ser288Ile (c.863G>T)?

VCL p.Ser288Ile (c.863G>T) is associated with dilated cardiomyopathy 1W (ClinVar).

How common is VCL p.Ser288Ile (c.863G>T) in the general population?

VCL p.Ser288Ile (c.863G>T) is very rare (popmax 0.00167%, amr) (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.Ser288Ile (c.863G>T)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely benign (score 0.1366) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

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.
