## 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 0.422, GERP -1.55, phastCons 0.993 — weakly conserved position
- CADD: **PHRED 7.5**. 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.*
- SpliceAI: **below the reporting threshold**. This position is scored for a different substitution (C>G, Δ0.53 donor gain), so this allele was evaluated and its deltas all fell under Δ0.2 — a prediction of no splicing effect for this allele, not a gap in our data. *No ACMG code assigned.*
- Population frequency (gnomAD v4.1): grpmax **0.00975%** (nfe) · FAF95 0.00826% · FAF99 0.00774% · 115/1,179,986 in the highest group · 117/1,613,700 alleles overall — very rare (popmax 0.00975%, nfe).

| Ancestry group | Allele frequency | 1 in |
| --- | --- | --- |
| European (non-Finnish) (grpmax) | 0.00975% | 10,261 |
| Remaining individuals (not grpmax-eligible) | 0.0016% | 62,478 |
| African / African-American | 0.00134% | 74,802 |

*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}

**SRCAP** population constraint: LOEUF 0.223, pLI 1, missense-Z 3.6475; ClinGen dosage — haploinsufficiency 3/3, triplosensitivity 0/3. *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):

- **Floating-Harbor syndrome** — Definitive (AD)

## Protein context {#protein}

Residue **538** lies in a UniProt-annotated variant site (in dehmba); the 'disordered' region.

**22 experimental structure(s)** (PDB): [6IGM](https://www.rcsb.org/structure/6IGM), [8X15](https://www.rcsb.org/structure/8X15), [8X19](https://www.rcsb.org/structure/8X19), [8X1C](https://www.rcsb.org/structure/8X1C), [9CA7](https://www.rcsb.org/structure/9CA7), [9CA8](https://www.rcsb.org/structure/9CA8) — incl. mutant structure 9UBD.

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

*Describes the biological roles of SRCAP (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.*
