## 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 **acceptor loss** (Δ 0.59) — a splice-altering prediction on an uncertain variant — a signal for review
- Conservation: phyloP 2.15, GERP 1.71, phastCons 0.976 — highly conserved position (PP3-type support)
- CADD: **PHRED 24.6**. 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 0.96** across the covering region of the MANE Select transcript (110,123,794–110,204,968), spanning 81,174 bp. Chi-square p 0.26. Describes the region, not this allele; gnomAD v4.1.1's own constrained determination. *Descriptive; no ACMG code applied.*
- SpliceAI deltas (raw): acceptor loss **0.59**, donor loss **0.00**, acceptor gain **0.00**, donor gain **0.00**. Largest is acceptor loss, 1 bp away.
- SpliceAI deltas (masked): acceptor loss **0.00**, donor loss **0.00**, acceptor gain **0.00**, donor gain **0.00**.
  Masked SpliceAI — what Ensembl VEP and the Broad lookup serve by default — is below the reporting threshold here, so those tools show **no splice signal** for this allele. Masking zeroes a loss scored against a position that is not an annotated splice site, and a gain that merely strengthens an existing one, so the raw score above is describing a cryptic site rather than the site the variant sits on. *No ACMG code is assigned either way.*
- Pangolin: Δ**0.47** (loss), gain 0.01 / loss 0.47. Agrees with SpliceAI. An independent predictor to SpliceAI — a different model trained on different data. *Descriptive; ClinGen's SVI calibration covers SpliceAI, not Pangolin, so no ACMG code is assigned.*
- Population frequency (gnomAD v4.1): grpmax **8.52e-05%** (nfe) · 1/1,173,104 in the highest group · 1/1,606,578 alleles overall — very rare (popmax 8.52e-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}

**NPHP1** population constraint: LOEUF 0.92, pLI 4.482e-10, missense-Z 0.65749. *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):

- **nephronophthisis 1** — Definitive (AR)

## Protein context {#protein}


AlphaFold model confidence (whole protein): pLDDT 76.22, 45% of residues very-high.
