Computational evidence

Protein change
Missense predictors do not apply to this variant type; conservation/SpliceAI carries the signal.
Splicing
Splice region	donor +5	donor splice region (+5, within the first 6 intronic nt) · inside the BP7-excluded zone
SpliceAI	Δ0.90	donor loss, 5 bp away · raw score · deltas
Pangolin	Δ0.83	loss · gain 0.02 · agrees with SpliceAI · independent

Non-coding constraint	Z 1.46	1 kb window · o/e 0.89 · regional · uncalibrated

Population frequency

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.
