Protein change
AlphaMissense	0.1274	likely benign
REVEL	0.31	indeterminate
SaProt	LLR -7.42	tolerated
⇒ AlphaMissense and SaProt both call this tolerated; REVEL is indeterminate.
Splicing
SpliceAI	<0.2	no splice effect predicted · four deltas, not one · how we know

Regional constraint	o/e 0.85	unconstrained · MANE · 234 kb · p 0.16 · regional, not allelic
Overall

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

AlphaMissense carries the ACMG weight for missense; REVEL and SaProt are independent agreement signals.
