Is XPC p.Phe614Ser (c.1841T>C) pathogenic?

XPC p.Phe614Ser (c.1841T>C) is classified Benign/Likely benign in XPC (ClinVar, Multiple submitters, 8 submitters; last evaluated 2026-02-04). AlphaMissense: likely benign (0.0874); Low-frequency (popmax 2.34%, afr); Associated with xeroderma pigmentosum group C.

What condition is associated with XPC p.Phe614Ser (c.1841T>C)?

XPC p.Phe614Ser (c.1841T>C) is associated with xeroderma pigmentosum group C (ClinVar).

How common is XPC p.Phe614Ser (c.1841T>C) in the general population?

XPC p.Phe614Ser (c.1841T>C) is low-frequency (popmax 2.34%, afr) (gnomAD).

How is Xeroderma pigmentosum inherited?

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

What do computational predictors say about XPC p.Phe614Ser (c.1841T>C)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely benign (score 0.0874) — 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.
