ATP2B2
Chr 3ADATPase plasma membrane Ca2+ transporting 2
Also known as: DFNA82, PMCA2, PMCA2a, PMCA2i
ATP2B2 encodes plasma membrane calcium ATPase isoform 2, which uses ATP to pump calcium ions out of cells and is critical for maintaining calcium homeostasis in the cerebellar circuit, vestibular system, and cochlear hair cells. Mutations cause autosomal dominant deafness (DFNA82), reflecting the protein's essential role in auditory and vestibular function. The gene is extremely intolerant to loss-of-function variants (pLI >0.99), indicating that complete loss of protein function is likely incompatible with normal development.

Population Genetics & Constraint
gnomAD v4 — loss-of-function & missense intolerance
Among the most LoF-intolerant genes (~top 3%)
Highly missense-constrained (top ~0.1%)
This gene has evidence for multiple mechanisms of pathogenicity (loss-of-function and gain-of-function). The Badonyi & Marsh model scores gain-of-function highest among its predictions, but genomic evidence (constraint, ClinVar variant spectrum, and literature) most strongly supports loss-of-function (haploinsufficiency). 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.
