Protein change
AlphaMissense	0.2958	likely benign
REVEL	0.236	benign-leaning
SaProt	—	not scored · why
⇒ AlphaMissense and REVEL both call this tolerated; SaProt makes no call.

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

AlphaMissense carries the ACMG weight for missense; REVEL is an independent agreement signal.

⚠ Isoform check: AlphaMissense numbered on a different transcript (AM S433R vs ClinVar S968R) — verify the residue.

Population frequency

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.
