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

⚠ Isoform check: AlphaMissense numbered on a different transcript (AM S785F vs ClinVar S885F) — verify the residue.

Remaining individuals shows a higher raw frequency than the grpmax group above it. gnomAD excludes bottlenecked groups — Finnish, Ashkenazi Jewish, Amish and “Remaining individuals” — from grpmax, because founder effects make their frequencies unrepresentative for filtering. The table is sorted by frequency, so an excluded group can sit above the grpmax row.

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.

Variant & gene context

Gene: MRTFA
Protein: p.Ser885Phe
Coding: c.2654C>T
MANE Select: NM_020831
Type: single nucleotide variant
Location: chr22:40411832 (GRCh38)
Gene constraint: LOEUF 0.389 · pLI 1.00 (gnomAD)
Structure: AlphaFold pLDDT 56.59 · 2 PDB
Residue 785 UniProt numbering: the 'disordered' region; a UniProt-annotated variant site (in imd66; probable loss-of-function; patient's dendritic cells are morphologically distinct from control dendritic cells and show reduced spreading on fibronectin-coated coverslips, a marked reduction in total f-actin staining and a complete absence of podosomes, a similar phenotype to that of thp1 cells in which mrtfa was silenced)
