Computational evidence

Protein change
Missense predictors do not apply to this variant type; conservation carries the signal.
Consequence	start-loss	predicted loss-of-function in a LoF-intolerant gene
REVEL	0.809	moderately pathogenic-leaning
Splicing
SpliceAI	—	not assessed · no allele here is in the release
Constraint at this position
Conservation	phyloP 11	GERP 2.3, phastCons 1
Overall
CADD	28.6	PHRED · no single calibrated threshold — expert panels disagree

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

Population frequency

gnomAD v4.1 · exomes + genomes

Grpmax group 8.87e-05% European (non-Finnish) · 1/1,127,886 alleles

Overall 7.35e-05% 1/1,360,980 alleles · very rare

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.
