Protein change
AlphaMissense	0.1804	likely benign
REVEL	0.373	indeterminate
SaProt	LLR -11.09	damaging
⇒ SaProt calls this damaging; AlphaMissense does not; REVEL is indeterminate.

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.
