Key Finding: Computational Consensus
37 out of 38 computational predictors agree: E1659A is DAMAGING/PATHOGENIC.
The only outlier is PrimateAI (0.5587, Tolerated) — explained by the STRC Pseudogene Problem (STRCP1 99.6% identity confuses primate alignment tools).
Strongest signals:
ClinPred: 0.9869 (near-maximum pathogenic)
MutationTaster: 1.0000 (maximum disease-causing confidence)
PolyPhen-2 HDIV: 0.9990 (near-maximum damaging)
FATHMM-MKL: 0.9748 (strong damaging)
AlphaMissense: 0.9016 (Likely Pathogenic)

Not directly applicable to E1659A (missense variant, not CNV). However, Misha’s paternal allele IS a 98kb deletion — these tools are relevant for that.

Priority Action Plan
Download dbNSFP v4 → extract ALL pre-computed scores for chr15:43600551 in one batch (BayesDel, MetaRNN, VEST4, ClinPred, MPC, GERP++, fitCons, LINSIGHT, Eigen, PhyloP, PhastCons)Submit to DynaMut/mCSM/DUET/SDM → protein stability predictions using AlphaFold PDB (AF-Q7RTU9-F1)Submit to AbSplice2 → tissue-specific splicing predictions for chr15:43600551:T>GSubmit to FATHMM-MKL → additional VEP score
Short-term (needs setup)
Install ESM1v/ESM3 (pip install fair-esm) → zero-shot scoring on GPURequest FoldX academic license → ddG calculationSubmit to EVcouplings → co-evolution analysis for Q7RTU9Run ClassifyCNV on paternal 98kb deletion coordinates
Medium-term (research value)
Submit ClinVar — formal submission of E1659A with Likely Pathogenic classificationRun Evo 2 / Nucleotide Transformer on GPU → foundation model predictionsContact Mastermind for STRC variant intelligence report
