ANP32B
Chr 9acidic nuclear phosphoprotein 32 family member B
Also known as: APRIL, PHAPI2, SSP29
The protein functions as a histone chaperone that regulates transcription, controls cell proliferation and apoptosis, and facilitates nucleocytoplasmic transport of specific mRNAs. Mutations cause autosomal recessive developmental and epileptic encephalopathy with movement abnormalities, typically presenting in infancy with seizures, developmental delays, and progressive neurological deterioration. This gene is highly constrained against loss-of-function variants in the general population, indicating that complete loss of protein function is likely not tolerated.
Population Genetics & Constraint
gnomAD v4 — loss-of-function & missense intolerance
Highly LoF-intolerant (top ~10% of genes)
Mild missense constraint
The highest-scoring mechanism for this gene is loss-of-function (haploinsufficiency).
Predictions from Badonyi M, Marsh JA. PLoS ONE. 2024;19(8):e0307312. Mechanism ranking also informed by gnomAD constraint, ClinVar, and ClinGen data.
