## Computational & population evidence {#evidence}

**Concordance:** Mixed / partial computational evidence (see below).

- **Missense predictors (AlphaMissense/REVEL/SaProt) do not apply** to this variant type — they score amino-acid substitutions only. For non-missense variants the computational signal comes from conservation and, for splice-region changes, SpliceAI (below), not from a missing predictor score.
- SpliceAI predicts **donor gain** (Δ 0.33) — a splice-altering prediction the current classification does not reflect
- Conservation: phyloP 1.454, GERP -1.94, phastCons 1 — weakly conserved position
- CADD: **PHRED 15.41**. 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.*
- SpliceAI deltas (raw): acceptor loss **0.00**, donor loss **0.12**, acceptor gain **0.00**, donor gain **0.33**. Largest is donor gain.
- SpliceAI deltas (masked): acceptor loss **0.00**, donor loss **0.12**, acceptor gain **0.00**, donor gain **0.33**.
- Population frequency (gnomAD v4.1): grpmax **8.48e-05%** (nfe) · 1/1,179,906 in the highest group · 1/1,614,046 alleles overall — very rare (popmax 8.48e-05%, nfe).

*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 **1375** lies in the ferm 1 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.*
