Computational evidence

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 3 of 4
Splicing
SpliceAI	—	not assessed · no allele here is in the release
Pangolin	Δ0.21	loss · gain 0.01 · not in the SpliceAI release · independent
Constraint at this position
Conservation	phyloP 3.8	GERP -2.6, phastCons 1
Overall
CADD	36.0	PHRED · no single calibrated threshold — expert panels disagree

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