## Computational & population evidence {#evidence}

**Concordance:** Evidence sources **disagree** — AlphaMissense predicts likely-benign.

- AlphaMissense **likely benign** (0.0719) — ⚠ discordant with the pathogenic call
- REVEL 0.118 (moderately benign-leaning) — agrees with AlphaMissense
- SaProt LLR -6.303 (tolerated) — agrees with AlphaMissense
- → **In-silico consensus:** AlphaMissense, REVEL and SaProt all call this tolerated
- SpliceAI predicts **acceptor loss** (Δ 0.20) — consistent with the pathogenic call
- Conservation: phyloP 11.273, GERP 0.711, phastCons 1 — highly conserved (differs from AlphaMissense)
- CADD: **PHRED 24.1**. 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.*
- Regional missense constraint: **o/e 0.48** across the covering region of the MANE Select transcript (39,723,432–39,725,757), spanning 2,325 bp. Chi-square p 1.2e-20. Describes the region, not this allele; gnomAD v4.1.1's own constrained determination. *Descriptive; no ACMG code applied.*
- SpliceAI deltas (raw): acceptor loss **0.20**, donor loss **0.00**, acceptor gain **0.00**, donor gain **0.00**. Largest is acceptor loss, 18 bp away.
- SpliceAI deltas (masked): acceptor loss **0.00**, donor loss **0.00**, acceptor gain **0.00**, donor gain **0.00**.
  Masked SpliceAI — what Ensembl VEP and the Broad lookup serve by default — is below the reporting threshold here, so those tools show **no splice signal** for this allele. Masking zeroes a loss scored against a position that is not an annotated splice site, and a gain that merely strengthens an existing one, so the raw score above is describing a cryptic site rather than the site the variant sits on. *No ACMG code is assigned either way.*
- Population frequency (gnomAD v4.1): grpmax **0.0011%** (sas) · FAF95 0.000124% · FAF99 9e-05% · 1/91,084 in the highest group · 6/1,614,048 alleles overall — very rare (popmax 0.0011%, sas).

| Ancestry group | Allele frequency | 1 in |
| --- | --- | --- |
| South Asian (grpmax) | 0.0011% | 91,084 |
| European (non-Finnish) | 0.000424% | 236,007 |

*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}

**ERBB2** population constraint: LOEUF 0.518, pLI 0.063119, missense-Z 4.2475. *Lower LOEUF and higher pLI indicate a gene that tolerates loss-of-function poorly; ClinGen dosage is the curated haploinsufficiency call.*

## Protein context {#protein}

Residue **857** lies in the protein kinase domain; a UniProt-annotated variant site (in oc; uncertain significance; somatic mutation).

AlphaFold model confidence (whole protein): pLDDT 74.65, 43% of residues very-high.

**63 experimental structure(s)** (PDB): [1MFG](https://www.rcsb.org/structure/1MFG), [1MFL](https://www.rcsb.org/structure/1MFL), [1MW4](https://www.rcsb.org/structure/1MW4), [1N8Z](https://www.rcsb.org/structure/1N8Z), [1QR1](https://www.rcsb.org/structure/1QR1), [1S78](https://www.rcsb.org/structure/1S78) — incl. mutant structure 6BGT.
