Computational evidence

Protein change
AlphaMissense	0.8974	likely pathogenic · top 10% in CFH
REVEL	0.112	moderately benign-leaning
SaProt	—	withheld · numbering disagrees past residue 402 · why
⇒ AlphaMissense calls this damaging; REVEL does not; SaProt makes no call.

AlphaMissense carries the ACMG weight for missense; REVEL is an independent agreement signal.

Population frequency

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.
