APMAP

Chr 20

adipocyte plasma membrane associated protein

Also known as: BSCv, C20orf3

The APMAP protein exhibits arylesterase activity and may function in adipocyte differentiation. Mutations cause autosomal recessive spondyloepimetaphyseal dysplasia with joint laxity, a skeletal dysplasia affecting bone and joint development. The gene is not highly constrained against loss-of-function variants.

Note: In-silico variant effect predictors (SIFT, PolyPhen, REVEL, CADD) may underestimate pathogenicity of missense variants in genes with GOF or DN mechanisms. Consider functional evidence and clinical context.
