## Computational & population evidence {#evidence}

**Concordance:** 1 independent predictor **concordant** with the ClinVar classification.

- AlphaMissense **likely pathogenic** (0.9042) — concordant with the pathogenic call
- REVEL 0.36 (indeterminate)
- SaProt LLR -5.678 (tolerated) — differs from AlphaMissense
- → **In-silico consensus:** AlphaMissense calls this damaging; SaProt does not; REVEL makes no call
- Conservation: phyloP 11.679, GERP 2.31, phastCons 1 — highly conserved (agrees)
- ⚠ **Isoform check:** AlphaMissense is numbered on a different transcript (AM **P288S** vs ClinVar **P255S**) — the AlphaMissense read here may be for a different residue; verify against the ClinVar transcript.
- CADD: **PHRED 28.3**. No single ClinGen-calibrated threshold exists and the expert panels that use CADD disagree — GUCY2D/AIPL1 require ≥ 20.0 for an untranslated-region variant, ABCA4 ≥ 28.1 for a synonymous or indel variant, the Pulmonary Hypertension panel imports Pejaver 2022's missense-calibrated numbers, and the Antibody Deficiencies panel declines CADD entirely for PIK3CD. CADD v1.7 also incorporates Zoonomia phyloP, so it partly re-expresses the conservation above. *Descriptive; no threshold applied.*
- Regional missense constraint: **o/e 0.94** across the covering region of the MANE Select transcript (57,010,698–57,026,013), spanning 15,315 bp. Chi-square p 0.24. Describes the region, not this allele; gnomAD v4.1.1's own constrained determination. *Descriptive; no ACMG code applied.*
- SpliceAI: **not assessed** — no allele at this position is in our SpliceAI release, either because it lies outside the scored MANE transcript scope or because every allele is below Δ0.2. We cannot tell which, so this claims neither; absence is not evidence against a splicing effect.
- Population frequency (gnomAD v4.1): grpmax **0.00136%** (afr) · 1/73,284 in the highest group · 4/1,589,008 alleles overall — very rare (popmax 0.00136%, afr).

| Ancestry group | Allele frequency | 1 in |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Remaining individuals (not grpmax-eligible) | 0.00325% | 30,767 |
| African / African-American (grpmax) | 0.00136% | 73,284 |
| European (non-Finnish) | 8.55e-05% | 1,169,836 |

Remaining individuals shows a higher raw frequency than the grpmax group. gnomAD excludes bottlenecked groups — Finnish, Ashkenazi Jewish, Amish and "Remaining individuals" — from grpmax, because founder effects make their frequencies unrepresentative for filtering. The table is sorted by frequency, so an excluded group can sit above the grpmax row.

*Computational predictors are not independent (ClinGen Variant Classification guidance): AlphaMissense (Cheng et al. 2023) carries the ACMG weight for missense and conservation (phyloP/GERP/phastCons) for non-missense; REVEL (Pejaver-2022 calibrated strength bands) and SaProt (Su et al. 2023, structure-aware, ClinVar-independent protein language model, raw LLR) are shown as orthogonal agreement signals, not additive. For frequency, the gnomAD v4.1 grpmax filtering allele frequency (FAF95) is ClinGen's designated BA1/BS1 input (gnomAD v4 guidance v3.0, June 2025); BA1/BS1 thresholds are disease-specific, not a blanket 5%. Predictions, not a clinical determination.*

## Gene constraint & dosage {#gene-context}

**DAB1** population constraint: LOEUF 0.407, pLI 0.99978, missense-Z 1.6851. *Lower LOEUF and higher pLI indicate a gene that tolerates loss-of-function poorly; ClinGen dosage is the curated haploinsufficiency call.*

## Protein context {#protein}


AlphaFold model confidence (whole protein): pLDDT 59.20, 25% of residues very-high.
