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.

- a UniProt-annotated variant site (in gpibd18; almost complete loss of function; when tested in pigs-knockout cells, mediates only very partial restoration of gpi-anchored protein expression at the cell surface; strong decrease in protein level, possibly due to nonsense-mediated mrna decay); a turn
