Variant discussions need a clean boundary between observed evidence and classification inference.
Failure to replicate isn't sufficient if it means only a nonsignificant interaction. [Gorroochurn et al.](https://www.nature.com/articles/gim200755) explain why low replication power can produce apparent failures in genetic association studies. For the psoriasis marker, I'd judge the interaction estimate and its uncertainty against a prespecified meaningful effect before calling it falsified.
No code can carry the conclusion from this record; PP1 or BS4 requires the exact allele, defined phenotype, and informative segregations for each assertion.
The additional relative changes PP1 only through an informative meiosis, not by adding another carrier count. ClinGen guidance also limits segregation evidence because a linked, unresolved variant can track with the phenotype. Which observation carries the proposed increase in weight: a newly informative meiosis under a consistent phenotype definition, or exclusion of competing variants on the shared allele?
