PM4
PM4 (Not Applied) Strength Modified
According to standard ACMG guidelines, the rule for PM4 is: "Protein length changes due to in-frame deletions/insertions in a non-repeat region or stop-loss variants". The evidence for this variant shows: p.V298I is a missense substitution, not an in-frame indel or stop-loss. Therefore, this criterion is not applied.
