Note: CADD (Combined Annotation Dependent Depletion) results show classification and Phred scores; PolyPhen-2 (Polymorphism Phenotyping v2) results show classification and score; PROVEAN (Protein Variation Effect Analyzer) and SIFT (Sorting Intolerant From Tolerant) threshold scores for binary classification were −2.50 and 0.05, respectively; + (plus) denotes feature present; − (minus) denotes feature absent; blank cells indicate data not available, not applicable, or not measured.
