Protein change
Missense predictors do not apply to this variant type; conservation carries the signal.
Consequence	nonsense (stop-gain)	predicted loss-of-function
NMD	predicted	premature termination codon in exon 8 of 79
Splicing
SpliceAI	—	not assessed · no allele here is in the release
Pangolin	Δ0.27	loss · gain 0.01 · not in the SpliceAI release · independent
