## 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 (below), not from a missing predictor score.
- Conservation: phyloP 11.891, GERP 2.66, phastCons 1 — highly conserved position (PP3-type support)
- Molecular consequence: **frameshift** — a predicted loss-of-function variant. Gene population constraint: LOEUF 0.531, pLI 0.85993. *Descriptive; not an applied PVS1 code.*
- Nonsense-mediated decay: the premature termination codon is **in exon 10 of 25**, so the transcript is predicted to undergo NMD.
- SpliceAI: **not assessed** — the release is built from a substitutions-only source, so it holds no deletion variants. That is a property of the dataset, not of the variant, and is not evidence against a splicing effect.

*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}

**SLMAP** population constraint: LOEUF 0.531, pLI 0.85993, missense-Z 2.0271. *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):

- **Brugada syndrome** — Refuted (AD)

## Protein context {#protein}


AlphaFold model confidence (whole protein): pLDDT 77.74, 42% of residues very-high.

**3 experimental structure(s)** (PDB): [6AKM](https://www.rcsb.org/structure/6AKM), [6AR0](https://www.rcsb.org/structure/6AR0), [6AR2](https://www.rcsb.org/structure/6AR2).

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

*Describes the biological roles of SLMAP (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:** SLMAP's established molecular role includes protein-macromolecule adaptor activity.


### Molecular function & processes (GO — experimentally supported) {#go}

**Molecular function:** protein-macromolecule adaptor activity.

**Biological process:** negative regulation of hippo signaling, protein localization to plasma membrane, regulation of membrane depolarization during cardiac muscle cell action potential, regulation of sodium ion transmembrane transport.
