Computational evidence

Protein change
AlphaMissense	0.0872	likely benign
REVEL	0.162	moderately benign-leaning
⇒ AlphaMissense and REVEL both call this tolerated.
Splicing
SpliceAI	<0.2	all four deltas below 0.2 · G>T here scores Δ0.26 · evaluated, not missing
Constraint at this position
Conservation	phyloP 2.4	GERP -0.008, phastCons 1
Regional constraint	o/e 0.98	unconstrained · MANE · 50 kb · p 0.16 · regional, not allelic
Overall
CADD	16.01	PHRED · no single calibrated threshold — expert panels disagree

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

AlphaMissense carries the ACMG weight for missense; REVEL and SaProt are independent agreement signals.

Population frequency

gnomAD v4.1 · exomes + genomes

Grpmax group 8.48e-05% European (non-Finnish) · 1/1,179,522 alleles

Overall 6.85e-05% 1/1,460,264 alleles · very rare

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.
