## Computational & population evidence {#evidence}

**Concordance:** Mixed / partial computational evidence (see below).

- **Missense predictors (AlphaMissense/REVEL/SaProt) do not apply** to this variant type — they score amino-acid substitutions only. For non-missense variants the computational signal comes from conservation (below), not from a missing predictor score.
- Conservation: phyloP 4.853, GERP 1.86, phastCons 0.963 — highly conserved position (PP3-type support)
- CADD: **PHRED 10.75**. No single ClinGen-calibrated threshold exists and the expert panels that use CADD disagree — GUCY2D/AIPL1 require ≥ 20.0 for an untranslated-region variant, ABCA4 ≥ 28.1 for a synonymous or indel variant, the Pulmonary Hypertension panel imports Pejaver 2022's missense-calibrated numbers, and the Antibody Deficiencies panel declines CADD entirely for PIK3CD. CADD v1.7 also incorporates Zoonomia phyloP, so it partly re-expresses the conservation above. *Descriptive; no threshold applied.*
- SpliceAI: **not assessed** — no allele at this position is in our SpliceAI release, either because it lies outside the scored MANE transcript scope or because every allele is below Δ0.2. We cannot tell which, so this claims neither; absence is not evidence against a splicing effect.
- Population frequency (gnomAD v4.1): grpmax **0.00518%** (amr) · FAF95 0.00137% · FAF99 0.000681% · 3/57,934 in the highest group · 3/1,445,296 alleles overall — very rare (popmax 0.00518%, amr).

*Computational predictors are not independent (ClinGen Variant Classification guidance): AlphaMissense (Cheng et al. 2023) carries the ACMG weight for missense and conservation (phyloP/GERP/phastCons) for non-missense; REVEL (Pejaver-2022 calibrated strength bands) and SaProt (Su et al. 2023, structure-aware, ClinVar-independent protein language model, raw LLR) are shown as orthogonal agreement signals, not additive. For frequency, the gnomAD v4.1 grpmax filtering allele frequency (FAF95) is ClinGen's designated BA1/BS1 input (gnomAD v4 guidance v3.0, June 2025); BA1/BS1 thresholds are disease-specific, not a blanket 5%. Predictions, not a clinical determination.*

## Gene constraint & dosage {#gene-context}

**ENG** population constraint: LOEUF 0.374, pLI 1, missense-Z 1.285; ClinGen dosage — haploinsufficiency 3, triplosensitivity 0 (0–3 scale). *Lower LOEUF and higher pLI indicate a gene that tolerates loss-of-function poorly; ClinGen dosage is the curated haploinsufficiency call.*

Curated gene–disease validity (ClinGen):

- **juvenile polyposis syndrome** — Limited (AD)
- **telangiectasia, hereditary hemorrhagic, type 1** — Definitive (AD)

## Protein context {#protein}

Residue **192** lies in a disulfide bond; a UniProt-annotated variant site (in hht1); the 'required for interaction with gdf2' region; the 'or2' region.

AlphaFold model confidence (whole protein): pLDDT 80.84, 40% of residues very-high.

## What this gene does {#gene-function}

*Describes the biological roles of ENG (the gene this variant disrupts) — not effects measured for this specific variant. A damaging variant is expected to affect these functions and pathways; the degree depends on the variant.*

**How this variant is thought to act:** ENG's established molecular role includes type II transforming growth factor beta receptor binding. p.Arg192= falls in the required for interaction with gdf2 region.


### Molecular function & processes (GO — experimentally supported) {#go}

**Molecular function:** type II transforming growth factor beta receptor binding, galactose binding, glycosaminoglycan binding, coreceptor activity, signaling receptor activator activity, type I transforming growth factor beta receptor binding.

**Biological process:** negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II, vasculogenesis, response to hypoxia, negative regulation of endothelial cell proliferation, positive regulation of systemic arterial blood pressure, regulation of DNA-templated transcription.

## Clinical significance {#significance}

**Likely benign** — review status Single submitter *(criteria provided, single submitter)*, last evaluated 2024-02-24.
