Protein change
AlphaMissense	0.9738	likely pathogenic · top 9% in MAPT
REVEL	0.945	strongly pathogenic-leaning
SaProt	LLR -14.29	damaging
⇒ AlphaMissense, REVEL and SaProt all call this damaging.

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

AlphaMissense carries the ACMG weight for missense; REVEL and SaProt are independent agreement signals.

⚠ Isoform check: AlphaMissense numbered on a different transcript (AM P618R vs ClinVar P693R) — verify the residue.

Population frequency

Grpmax group 8.63e-05% European (non-Finnish) · 1/1,158,538 alleles

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.
