  1. cDNA positions refer to NM_005267.5, the protein changes refer to NP_005258.2. Protein domains: NT N-terminal domain, TM transmembrane domain, ECL extracellular loop, ICL Intracellular loop, CT C-terminal domain. For each variant, total minor allele frequencies from gnomAD (v4.1.0) are reported. Conservation scores (GERP + + _RS) were retrieved from the dbNSFP database v4.7a (accessed in November 2024). GERP++_RS scores range from a minimum of −12.3 to a maximum of 6.17, and positions with scores ≥ 2 are considered conserved. In silico predictions of the functional effects of variants are reported for Polyphen-2, SIFT, CADD and AlphaMissense, retrieved from the dbNSFP database v4.7a (accessed in November 2024) (D Damaging, P Pathogenic, A Ambiguous). Variants were classified as ‘pathogenic’, ‘likely pathogenic’, or ‘uncertain significance’ based on the “ACGS Best Practice Guidelines for Variant Classification in Rare Disease” [23], an updated version of the ACMG/AMP guidelines [24].
