Is WT1 p.Thr12= (c.36G>T) pathogenic?

WT1 p.Thr12= (c.36G>T) is classified Likely benign in WT1 (ClinVar, Multiple submitters, 2 submitters; last evaluated 2025-06-21). Very rare (popmax 0.00238%, sas); Associated with Denys-Drash syndrome.

What condition is associated with WT1 p.Thr12= (c.36G>T)?

WT1 p.Thr12= (c.36G>T) is associated with Denys-Drash syndrome, Frasier syndrome, Wilms tumor 1 (ClinVar).

How common is WT1 p.Thr12= (c.36G>T) in the general population?

WT1 p.Thr12= (c.36G>T) is very rare (popmax 0.00238%, sas) (gnomAD).

How is Denys-Drash syndrome inherited?

Typically Autosomal dominant (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.
