## Computational & population evidence {#evidence}

**Concordance:** ClinVar classifies this **uncertain**; the computational predictors unanimously lean **tolerated** — a triage signal, not a reclassification.

- AlphaMissense **likely benign** (0.0948)
- REVEL 0.128 (moderately benign-leaning) — agrees with AlphaMissense
- SaProt LLR -4.598 (tolerated) — agrees with AlphaMissense
- → **In-silico consensus:** AlphaMissense, REVEL and SaProt all call this tolerated
- SpliceAI predicts **acceptor loss** (Δ 0.37) — a splice-altering prediction on an uncertain variant — a signal for review
- Conservation: phyloP 3.855, GERP -1.7, phastCons 0.064 — highly conserved (differs from AlphaMissense)
- CADD: **PHRED 8.921**. 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.*
- Regional missense constraint: **o/e 1.06** across the covering region of the MANE Select transcript (102,922,689–102,930,677), spanning 7,988 bp. Chi-square p 0.14. Describes the region, not this allele; gnomAD v4.1.1's own constrained determination. *Descriptive; no ACMG code applied.*
- SpliceAI deltas (raw): acceptor loss **0.37**, donor loss **0.02**, acceptor gain **0.00**, donor gain **0.00**. Largest is acceptor loss, 1 bp away.
- SpliceAI deltas (masked): acceptor loss **0.00**, donor loss **0.00**, acceptor gain **0.00**, donor gain **0.00**.
  Masked SpliceAI — what Ensembl VEP and the Broad lookup serve by default — is below the reporting threshold here, so those tools show **no splice signal** for this allele. Masking zeroes a loss scored against a position that is not an annotated splice site, and a gain that merely strengthens an existing one, so the raw score above is describing a cryptic site rather than the site the variant sits on. *No ACMG code is assigned either way.*
- Population frequency (gnomAD v4.1): grpmax **0.0164%** (mid) · FAF95 6.8e-05% · FAF99 1.9e-05% · 1/6,084 in the highest group · 4/1,603,086 alleles overall — ultra-rare (popmax 0.0164%, mid).

| Ancestry group | Allele frequency | 1 in |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Middle Eastern (grpmax) | 0.0164% | 6,084 |
| European (non-Finnish) | 0.000254% | 393,269 |

*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.*

## Gene constraint & dosage {#gene-context}

**AMN** population constraint: LOEUF 1.446, pLI 1.8277e-15, missense-Z -2.732; ClinGen dosage — haploinsufficiency gene assoc. with recessive phenotype, triplosensitivity 0/3. *Lower LOEUF and higher pLI indicate a gene that tolerates loss-of-function poorly; ClinGen dosage is the curated haploinsufficiency call.*

## Protein context {#protein}


AlphaFold model confidence (whole protein): pLDDT 80.78, 61% of residues very-high.

**1 experimental structure(s)** (PDB): [6GJE](https://www.rcsb.org/structure/6GJE).
