## Computational & population evidence {#evidence}

**Concordance:** 1 independent predictor **concordant** with the ClinVar classification.

- AlphaMissense **likely pathogenic** (0.986) — concordant with the pathogenic call
- REVEL 0.893 (moderately pathogenic-leaning) — agrees with AlphaMissense
- SaProt LLR -8.147 (tolerated) — differs from AlphaMissense
- → **In-silico consensus:** AlphaMissense and REVEL call this damaging; SaProt does not
- Conservation: phyloP 11.31, GERP 2.06, phastCons 1 — highly conserved (agrees)
- CADD: **PHRED 28.0**. 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 0.15** across the covering region of the MANE Select transcript (24,122,887–24,122,990), spanning 103 bp — the region is depleted of missense variation. Chi-square p 5.9e-09. Describes the region, not this allele; gnomAD v4.1.1's own constrained determination. *Descriptive; no ACMG code applied.*
- SpliceAI: **not assessed** — no allele at this position is in our SpliceAI release, either because it lies outside the scored MANE transcript scope or because every allele is below Δ0.2. We cannot tell which, so this claims neither; absence is not evidence against a splicing effect.
- Population frequency: **absent from gnomAD v4.1** — a rarity signal (ACMG PM2-supporting), not evidence of pathogenicity on its own.

*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}

**THRB** population constraint: LOEUF 0.43, pLI 0.9992, missense-Z 3.7158. *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 **451** lies in the nr lbd domain; the 'interaction with nr2f6' region.

AlphaFold model confidence (whole protein): pLDDT 80.24, 69% of residues very-high.

**34 experimental structure(s)** (PDB): [1BSX](https://www.rcsb.org/structure/1BSX), [1N46](https://www.rcsb.org/structure/1N46), [1NAX](https://www.rcsb.org/structure/1NAX), [1NQ0](https://www.rcsb.org/structure/1NQ0), [1NQ1](https://www.rcsb.org/structure/1NQ1), [1NQ2](https://www.rcsb.org/structure/1NQ2) — incl. mutant structure 1NQ2.

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

*Describes the biological roles of THRB (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:** THRB's established molecular role includes transcription coactivator binding. p.Phe451Val falls in the nr lbd domain.
