Computational evidence

Protein change
AlphaMissense	0.2603	likely benign
REVEL	0.5	indeterminate
SaProt	LLR -4.69	tolerated
⇒ AlphaMissense and SaProt both call this tolerated; REVEL makes no call.

Regional constraint	o/e 0.78	unconstrained · MANE · 15 kb · p 9.7e-20 · regional, not allelic
Overall
CADD	24.4	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.

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.
