## Computational & population evidence {#evidence}

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

- AlphaMissense **likely benign** (0.1473)
- REVEL 0.21 (benign-leaning) — agrees with AlphaMissense
- SaProt LLR -7.353 (tolerated) — agrees with AlphaMissense
- → **In-silico consensus:** AlphaMissense, REVEL and SaProt all call this tolerated
- Conservation: phyloP 3.913, GERP -3.97, phastCons 0.999 — highly conserved (differs from AlphaMissense)
- 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 0.87** across the covering region of the MANE Select transcript (143,810,925–143,815,372), spanning 4,447 bp. Chi-square p 0.0026. Describes the region, not this allele; gnomAD v4.1.1's own constrained determination. *Descriptive; no ACMG code applied.*
- SpliceAI: **no splice effect predicted**. SpliceAI outputs four numbers per variant, not one: acceptor loss, donor loss, acceptor gain, donor gain (DS_AL / DS_DL / DS_AG / DS_DG). The release publishes its own filter rule, which we read from the dataset rather than assume: an allele is reported only if the largest of its four deltas reaches 0.2. This allele is not in the release, so all four of its deltas are under 0.2. No figure is shown because none was read: the bound is deduced from that absence. It is a result, not a gap in our data, and here that is proven rather than inferred: a different substitution at this very position, C>A, IS in the release and scores Δ0.31 acceptor gain, so SpliceAI evaluated this position and this allele was not among the ones that cleared the filter. *ClinGen's SVI treats the largest of the four as evidence against a splicing effect at or below 0.1, where it may support BP4, and as uninformative between 0.1 and 0.2. We cannot tell which applies here, so these SpliceAI data support neither BP4 nor PP3; that is a statement about this evidence alone, not about the variant's other evidence.*
- Population frequency (gnomAD v4.1): grpmax **0.011%** (sas) · FAF95 0.00595% · FAF99 0.00454% · 10/90,848 in the highest group · 66/1,611,476 alleles overall — ultra-rare (popmax 0.011%, sas).

| Ancestry group | Allele frequency | 1 in |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Remaining individuals (not grpmax-eligible) | 0.0128% | 7,793 |
| South Asian (grpmax) | 0.011% | 9,085 |
| European (non-Finnish) | 0.00382% | 26,208 |
| East Asian | 0.00223% | 44,814 |
| Admixed American | 0.00167% | 59,834 |
| African / African-American | 0.00133% | 75,034 |

Remaining individuals shows a higher raw frequency than the grpmax group. gnomAD excludes bottlenecked groups — Finnish, Ashkenazi Jewish, Amish and "Remaining individuals" — from grpmax, because founder effects make their frequencies unrepresentative for filtering. The table is sorted by frequency, so an excluded group can sit above the grpmax row.

*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}

**SCRIB** population constraint: LOEUF 0.684, pLI 8.3323e-12, missense-Z -3.2663. *Lower LOEUF and higher pLI indicate a gene that tolerates loss-of-function poorly; ClinGen dosage is the curated haploinsufficiency call.*

## Protein context {#protein}

Residue **397** lies in the 'sufficient for targeting to adherens junction and to inhibit cell proliferation' region.

AlphaFold model confidence (whole protein): pLDDT 52.33, 0% of residues very-high.

**42 experimental structure(s)** (PDB): [9KFM](https://www.rcsb.org/structure/9KFM), [9KFN](https://www.rcsb.org/structure/9KFN), [9KFO](https://www.rcsb.org/structure/9KFO), [9KQS](https://www.rcsb.org/structure/9KQS), [9UK1](https://www.rcsb.org/structure/9UK1), [9UK3](https://www.rcsb.org/structure/9UK3) — incl. mutant structure 6EEY.

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

*Describes the biological roles of SCRIB (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:** SCRIB's established molecular role includes signaling adaptor activity. p.Arg397Gln falls in the sufficient for targeting to adherens junction and to inhibit cell proliferation region.
