## Computational & population evidence {#evidence}

**Concordance:** Mixed / partial computational evidence (see below).

- **Missense predictors (AlphaMissense/REVEL/SaProt) do not apply** to this variant type — they score amino-acid substitutions only. For non-missense variants the computational signal comes from conservation (below), not from a missing predictor score.
- Conservation: phyloP 0.355, GERP -1.37, phastCons 0.997 — weakly conserved position
- CADD: **PHRED 7.94**. 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.*
- 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 **8.48e-05%** (nfe) · 1/1,178,642 in the highest group · 12/1,612,406 alleles overall — very rare (popmax 8.48e-05%, nfe).

| Ancestry group | Allele frequency | 1 in |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Ashkenazi Jewish (not grpmax-eligible) | 0.0203% | 4,931 |
| Remaining individuals (not grpmax-eligible) | 0.00801% | 12,486 |
| European (non-Finnish) (grpmax) | 8.48e-05% | 1,178,642 |

Ashkenazi Jewish 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}

**DCC** population constraint: LOEUF 0.414, pLI 1, missense-Z 0.97556. *Lower LOEUF and higher pLI indicate a gene that tolerates loss-of-function poorly; ClinGen dosage is the curated haploinsufficiency call.*

Curated gene–disease validity (ClinGen):

- **mirror movements 1 and/or agenesis of the corpus callosum** — Definitive (AD)

## Protein context {#protein}

Residue **361** lies in a disulfide bond; a UniProt-annotated variant site (in mrmv1; likely pathogenic); the ig-like c2-type 4 domain.

AlphaFold model confidence (whole protein): pLDDT 68.60, 26% of residues very-high.
