Computational evidence

Protein change
AlphaMissense	0.1024	likely benign
REVEL	0.153	moderately benign-leaning
SaProt	LLR -3.13	tolerated
⇒ AlphaMissense, REVEL and SaProt all call this tolerated.
Splicing
SpliceAI	<0.2	no splice effect predicted · four deltas, not one · how we know
Constraint at this position
Conservation	phyloP 9.9	GERP -0.95, phastCons 1
Regional constraint	o/e 0.33	constrained · MANE · 42 kb · p 3.3e-29 · regional, not allelic
Overall
CADD	21.1	PHRED · no single calibrated threshold — expert panels disagree

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.
