## Computational & population evidence {#evidence}

**Concordance:** ClinVar classifies this **uncertain**; the computational predictors unanimously lean **damaging** — a triage signal, not a reclassification.

- AlphaMissense **likely pathogenic** (0.9462)
- REVEL 0.626 (indeterminate)
- SaProt LLR -14.453 (damaging) — agrees with AlphaMissense
- → **In-silico consensus:** AlphaMissense and SaProt both call this damaging; REVEL is indeterminate
- Conservation: phyloP 11.676, phastCons 1 — highly conserved (agrees)
- CADD: **PHRED 33.0**. 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 0.99** across the covering region of the MANE Select transcript (128,830,793–128,830,909), spanning 116 bp. Chi-square p 0.91. Describes the region, not this allele; gnomAD v4.1.1's own constrained determination. *Descriptive; no ACMG code applied.*
- SpliceAI: **not assessed** — this absence is genuinely unknown. Where a position sits between the lowest and the highest record the release holds for its gene, an absent score is a result and we state it as one; this position falls outside them, or the gene has no scored position at all, so that test did not reach here. It may lie outside the scored MANE transcript scope, or it may have been scored with all four deltas below Δ0.2 just past the last surviving record. 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}

**FLNC** population constraint: LOEUF 0.424, pLI 1, missense-Z 5.9661; 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):

- **myofibrillar myopathy** — Definitive (AD)
- **dilated cardiomyopathy** — Definitive (AD)

## Protein context {#protein}

Residue **84** lies in the calponin-homology (ch) 1 domain; the 'actin-binding' region.
