How common is CSTF2T p.Thr281Ser (c.842C>G) in the general population?

CSTF2T p.Thr281Ser (c.842C>G) is ultra-rare (popmax 0.0812%, sas) (gnomAD).

What do computational predictors say about CSTF2T p.Thr281Ser (c.842C>G)?

AlphaMissense predicts likely benign (score 0.0765) — an in-silico prediction, not a clinical call.

Protein change
AlphaMissense	0.0765	likely benign
REVEL	0.02	moderately benign-leaning
SaProt	LLR -7.52	tolerated
⇒ AlphaMissense, REVEL and SaProt all call this tolerated.

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.
