Protein change
Missense predictors do not apply to this variant type; conservation/SpliceAI carries the signal.

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

Population frequency

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.
