## Computational & population evidence {#evidence}

**Concordance:** 1 independent predictor **concordant** with the ClinVar classification.

- AlphaMissense **likely pathogenic** (0.9294) — concordant with the pathogenic call
- REVEL 0.971 (strongly pathogenic-leaning) — agrees with AlphaMissense
- SaProt LLR -13.009 (damaging) — agrees with AlphaMissense
- → **In-silico consensus:** AlphaMissense, REVEL and SaProt all call this damaging
- Conservation: phyloP 10.6, GERP 1.67, phastCons 1 — highly conserved (agrees)
- AlphaMissense ranks this among the **top 4%** most-pathogenic-predicted substitutions in F8 (of 13,814 modeled).
- CADD: **PHRED 27.0**. 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 0.65** across the covering region of the MANE Select transcript (154,837,600–154,928,668), spanning 91,068 bp. Chi-square p 1.5e-14. Describes the region, not this allele; gnomAD v4.1.1's own constrained determination. *Descriptive; no ACMG code 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: **absent from gnomAD v4.1** — a rarity signal (ACMG PM2-supporting), not evidence of pathogenicity on its own.

*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}

**F8** population constraint: ClinGen dosage — haploinsufficiency 3/3, triplosensitivity 0/3. *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):

- **hemophilia A** — Definitive (XL)

## Protein context {#protein}

Residue **2145** lies in the f5/8 type c 1 domain; a UniProt-annotated variant site (in hema; mild).

AlphaFold model confidence (whole protein): pLDDT 61.20, 32% of residues very-high.

**29 experimental structure(s)** (PDB): [12JP](https://www.rcsb.org/structure/12JP), [12JV](https://www.rcsb.org/structure/12JV), [1CFG](https://www.rcsb.org/structure/1CFG), [1D7P](https://www.rcsb.org/structure/1D7P), [1FAC](https://www.rcsb.org/structure/1FAC), [1IQD](https://www.rcsb.org/structure/1IQD) — incl. mutant structure 9D5D.

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

*Describes the biological roles of F8 (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.*
