The NM_018836.4(AJAP1):c.163C>T (p.Arg55Trp) variant causes a missense change involving the alteration of a non-conserved nucleotide. The variant allele was found at a cumulative frequency of 0.0000502 (AC=80) in the gnomAD database across 1,594,156 control chromosomes (no homozygotes observed). The grpmax filtering allele frequency (95% CI) is 0.0000502. In-silico predictor (REVEL) classifies this variant as likely benign. Splicing prediction tools (SpliceAI) predict no significant impact on normal splicing. Variant has been reported in ClinVar as Uncertain Significance (★).

Genes affected

AJAP1 (HGNC:30801): (adherens junctions associated protein 1) Enables beta-catenin binding activity. Involved in negative regulation of cell-matrix adhesion; negative regulation of wound healing; and regulation of polarized epithelial cell differentiation. Located in several cellular components, including adherens junction; basolateral plasma membrane; and cell-cell contact zone. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

  Inheritance: AD Classification: STRONG Submitted by: PanelApp Australia

Classification according to ACMG Germline Pathogenicity v2019

Classification was made for transcript:

Our verdict: Likely_benign. The variant received -4 points.

Apply	Criterion Code & Title / Strength	Strength	Rationale / Clinical Context
	PM2Absent/extremely low in population databases		Rare in gnomAD for AD/XL gene (popmax AF below threshold) — PM2 Supporting; GnomAD popmax AF = 0.0000502 — borderline rare for AD/XL gene (threshold 0.0001) — PM2 supporting.
	BP4Computational evidence suggests no impact		Computational evidence supports benign — no pathogenic computational or splicing signal (BP4); Splicing verdict: benign (Strong).; Germline computational verdict: benign (Supporting).
	BS2Observed in healthy adult		Pure AD gene with cumulative gnomAD AC ≥5 — observed in healthy adults (BS2); GnomAD homozygous count = 0.; Cumulative gnomAD AC = 80 (pure AD gene, not AR).
