Computational evidence

Protein change
Missense predictors do not apply to this variant type; conservation carries the signal.
Consequence	nonsense (stop-gain)	predicted loss-of-function
NMD	predicted	premature termination codon in exon 6 of 35
Splicing
SpliceAI	—	not assessed · no allele here is in the release
Pangolin	Δ0.43	loss · gain 0.00 · not in the SpliceAI release · independent
Constraint at this position
Conservation	phyloP 4.2	GERP 1.5, phastCons 0.99
Overall
CADD	37.0	PHRED · no single calibrated threshold — expert panels disagree

Predicted loss-of-function is descriptive, not an applied PVS1 code.

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.
