8:143994266; rs61757294_ A_G c.1157T > C; p.Val386Ala CYP11B2

0.1519 This has DR mode of inheritance – both this and another variant rs289316 need to be homozygous; hence this higher MAF is alright though the variant is “pathogenic”.

10:101829514 rs61751507_ C_T c.533G>A; p.Gly178Asp CPN1

0.0747 (high MAF for “pathogenic” variant). ClinVar annotates this variant as pathogenic based on one literature publication which reports this variant in just one patient. Thus, it is possible that the significance is of insufficient evidence and that the variant may become “likely benign”.
