Computational evidence

Protein change
Missense predictors do not apply to this variant type; conservation carries the signal.
Consequence	nonsense (stop-gain)	predicted loss-of-function in a haploinsufficient gene (ClinGen)
NMD	predicted	premature termination codon in exon 4 of 11
Splicing
SpliceAI	—	not assessed · no allele here is in the release
Constraint at this position
Conservation	phyloP -0.38	GERP -1.6
Overall
CADD	32.0	PHRED · no single calibrated threshold — expert panels disagree

Predicted loss-of-function is descriptive, not an applied PVS1 code.

Absent from gnomAD v4.1. Not observed in any sequenced alleles — a rarity signal (ACMG PM2-supporting), not evidence of pathogenicity on its own.
