REVEL	0.617	indeterminate
SaProt	LLR -16.35	damaging
⇒ AlphaMissense and SaProt both call this damaging; REVEL makes no call.

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

⚠ Isoform check: AlphaMissense numbered on a different transcript (AM I609R vs ClinVar I587R) — verify the residue.

Population frequency

Grpmax group 8.48e-05% European (non-Finnish) · 1/1,179,716 alleles

Rarity supports pathogenicity (ACMG PM2); frequency above a disease-specific BA1/BS1 threshold argues against it. A variant frequent in one ancestry group can be near-absent in others, so a single global figure can mislead.
