## Summary

**WWOX p.Pro384= (c.1152C>G)** is classified **Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity** in WWOX (ClinVar, Conflicting submitters, 2 submitters; last evaluated 2025-06-01). Very rare (popmax 8.47e-05%, nfe); Associated with developmental and epileptic encephalopathy, 1.

**At a glance:** Conflicting classifications of pathogenicity · review: Conflicting submitters · rsID rs2051759603 · 2 submitters · 2 linked conditions · very rare (popmax 8.47e-05%, nfe)

> **Built without this gene's context.** ClinVar files this variant under an overlapping gene, so its own gene's record set does not contain it and this page is assembled from the variant alone. Gene constraint and dosage, protein structure, pathways, panels and related-variant links were not looked up — absent from this page, not from the data.

## For patients & families {#patients}

This is a change in the WWOX gene that is of uncertain or conflicting significance (submitters disagree on it), submitted by 2 submitters, and is linked to developmental and epileptic encephalopathy, 1.

## Computational & population evidence {#evidence}

**Concordance:** Mixed / partial computational evidence (see below).

- **Missense predictors (AlphaMissense/REVEL/SaProt) do not apply** to this variant type — they score amino-acid substitutions only. For non-missense variants the computational signal comes from conservation (below), not from a missing predictor score.
- Conservation: phyloP -3.159, GERP -1.61 — fast-evolving / accelerated position
- CADD: **PHRED 1.342**. No single ClinGen-calibrated threshold exists and the expert panels that use CADD disagree — GUCY2D/AIPL1 require ≥ 20.0 for an untranslated-region variant, ABCA4 ≥ 28.1 for a synonymous or indel variant, the Pulmonary Hypertension panel imports Pejaver 2022's missense-calibrated numbers, and the Antibody Deficiencies panel declines CADD entirely for PIK3CD. CADD v1.7 also incorporates Zoonomia phyloP, so it partly re-expresses the conservation above. *Descriptive; no threshold applied.*
- SpliceAI: **not looked up on this page** — it was served without the gene's SpliceAI index, so no lookup was made. This is a gap in this page, not in the data, and says nothing about whether a splicing effect is predicted.
- Population frequency (gnomAD v4.1): grpmax **8.47e-05%** (nfe) · 1/1,180,048 in the highest group · 2/1,614,232 alleles overall — very rare (popmax 8.47e-05%, nfe).

| Ancestry group | Allele frequency | 1 in |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Remaining individuals (not grpmax-eligible) | 0.0016% | 62,512 |
| European (non-Finnish) (grpmax) | 8.47e-05% | 1,180,048 |

Remaining individuals shows a higher raw frequency than the grpmax group. gnomAD excludes bottlenecked groups — Finnish, Ashkenazi Jewish, Amish and "Remaining individuals" — from grpmax, because founder effects make their frequencies unrepresentative for filtering. The table is sorted by frequency, so an excluded group can sit above the grpmax row.

*Computational predictors are not independent (ClinGen Variant Classification guidance): AlphaMissense (Cheng et al. 2023) carries the ACMG weight for missense and conservation (phyloP/GERP/phastCons) for non-missense; REVEL (Pejaver-2022 calibrated strength bands) and SaProt (Su et al. 2023, structure-aware, ClinVar-independent protein language model, raw LLR) are shown as orthogonal agreement signals, not additive. For frequency, the gnomAD v4.1 grpmax filtering allele frequency (FAF95) is ClinGen's designated BA1/BS1 input (gnomAD v4 guidance v3.0, June 2025); BA1/BS1 thresholds are disease-specific, not a blanket 5%. Predictions, not a clinical determination.*
