Computational evidence

Protein change
Missense predictors do not apply to this variant type; conservation carries the signal.
Splicing
Splice region	donor +8	near-intronic (+8 nt from the splice site)
SpliceAI	—	not assessed · no allele here is in the release
Constraint at this position
Conservation	phyloP 0.037	GERP -3.5, phastCons 0.65
Non-coding constraint	—	not assessed · autosomes only, so chrX has no window · absence ≠ unconstrained
Overall
CADD	7.481	PHRED · no single calibrated threshold — expert panels disagree

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.
