Population frequency

Grpmax group 8.47e-05% European (non-Finnish) · 1/1,180,016 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.
