ALDOA

Chr 16AR

aldolase, fructose-bisphosphate A

Also known as: ALDA, GSD12, HEL-S-87p

The protein is a glycolytic enzyme that catalyzes the reversible conversion of fructose-1,6-bisphosphate to glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate and dihydroxyacetone phosphate in cellular energy metabolism. Mutations cause Glycogen Storage Disease XII, an autosomal recessive disorder associated with hemolytic anemia. The pathogenic mechanism appears to be dominant negative.

The Badonyi & Marsh prediction model was trained exclusively on dominant disease genes. Predictions are not reliable for genes with autosomal recessive inheritance and are shown at reduced opacity for reference only.
