AlphaMissense	0.9202	likely pathogenic · top 9% in DCT
REVEL	0.957	strongly pathogenic-leaning
SaProt	LLR -9.76	tolerated
⇒ AlphaMissense and REVEL call this damaging; SaProt does not.

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.
