ATP1A3

Chr 19AD

ATPase Na+/K+ transporting subunit alpha 3

ENSG00000105409 UniProt: P13637 OMIM: 182350

The ATP1A3 gene encodes the alpha-3 subunit of the sodium-potassium ATPase pump, which establishes and maintains electrochemical gradients of sodium and potassium ions across the plasma membrane that are essential for neuronal excitability. Autosomal dominant mutations cause alternating hemiplegia of childhood, CAPOS syndrome, developmental and epileptic encephalopathy, and dystonia through loss of function mechanisms. The gene is extremely intolerant to loss-of-function variants, indicating that haploinsufficiency is the primary pathogenic mechanism.

Population Constraint (gnomAD)

Highly constrained gene — heterozygous loss-of-function variants are very rare in the population (pLI 1.00). One damaged copy is likely sufficient to cause disease.

This gene has evidence for multiple mechanisms of pathogenicity (gain-of-function and loss-of-function). Both the Badonyi & Marsh prediction and the broader genomic evidence point to gain-of-function as the predominant mechanism. Different variants in this gene may act through different mechanisms — interpret in context of the specific variant.

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.
