>Allele Frequency

For the particular SNP I am heterozygous for in this particular gene, the population level allele frequency is 0.00001649. Missense mutation. Another variant in this gene, a stop loss, is at 0.0017

Yes, of course the likelihood of it being a problem is slim, but definitely not zero. High enough that it is worth knowing.

>but something we investigate every day

You and me both.
