## Computational & population evidence {#evidence}

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

- AlphaMissense **likely pathogenic** (0.9964)
- REVEL 0.918 (moderately pathogenic-leaning) — agrees with AlphaMissense
- SaProt LLR -11.517 (damaging) — agrees with AlphaMissense
- → **In-silico consensus:** AlphaMissense, REVEL and SaProt all call this damaging
- SpliceAI predicts **acceptor gain** (Δ 0.96) — a splice-altering prediction on an uncertain variant — a signal for review
- Conservation: phyloP 11.854, GERP 1.91, phastCons 1 — highly conserved (agrees)
- AlphaMissense ranks this among the **top 6%** most-pathogenic-predicted substitutions in MYO7A (of 13,147 modeled).
- CADD: **PHRED 35.0**. 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 0.95** across the covering region of the MANE Select transcript (77,130,635–77,214,693), spanning 84,058 bp. Chi-square p 0.0065. Describes the region, not this allele; gnomAD v4.1.1's own constrained determination. *Descriptive; no ACMG code applied.*
- SpliceAI deltas (raw): acceptor loss **0.01**, donor loss **0.00**, acceptor gain **0.96**, donor gain **0.00**. Largest is acceptor gain.
- SpliceAI deltas (masked): acceptor loss **0.00**, donor loss **0.00**, acceptor gain **0.96**, donor gain **0.00**.
- Population frequency (gnomAD v4.1): grpmax **0.00562%** (sas) · FAF95 0.00214% · FAF99 0.00139% · 5/88,994 in the highest group · 8/1,603,680 alleles overall — very rare (popmax 0.00562%, sas).

| Ancestry group | Allele frequency | 1 in |
| --- | --- | --- |
| South Asian (grpmax) | 0.00562% | 17,799 |
| Finnish (not grpmax-eligible) | 0.00158% | 63,274 |
| European (non-Finnish) | 0.00017% | 587,848 |

*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}

**MYO7A** population constraint: LOEUF 0.995, pLI 2.4072e-62, missense-Z 0.076546. *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):

- **Usher syndrome type 1** — Definitive (AR)
- **nonsyndromic genetic hearing loss** — Definitive (AD)

## Protein context {#protein}

Residue **404** lies in the myosin motor domain.

AlphaFold model confidence (whole protein): pLDDT 77.73, 16% of residues very-high.

**1 experimental structure(s)** (PDB): [5MV9](https://www.rcsb.org/structure/5MV9).

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

*Describes the biological roles of MYO7A (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.*

**How this variant is thought to act:** MYO7A's established molecular role includes microfilament motor activity. p.Gly404Arg falls in the myosin motor domain.
