SaProt	LLR -6.50	tolerated
⇒ AlphaMissense and SaProt both call this tolerated; REVEL is indeterminate.

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.
