Conservation	phyloP 1.7	GERP 1.6, phastCons 1

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

Population frequency

dbSNP / gnomAD

No gnomAD frequency available for this variant. This is missing data, not an absence: the variant may or may not be present in gnomAD. Rarity (ACMG PM2) and BA1/BS1 cannot be assessed for it.
