Computational evidence

Protein change
Missense predictors do not apply to this variant type; conservation/SpliceAI carries the signal.
Consequence	nonsense (stop-gain)	predicted loss-of-function

Splicing
SpliceAI	Δ0.38	acceptor loss, 31 bp away · masked 0 · deltas
Pangolin	Δ0.54	loss · gain 0.00 · agrees with SpliceAI · independent
