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-escape possible for C-terminal truncations
Splicing
SpliceAI	—	not assessed · no allele here is in the release
Constraint at this position
Conservation	phyloP 4.9	GERP 2, phastCons 1
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.
