GAPVD1

Chr 9

GTPase activating protein and VPS9 domains 1

Also known as: GAPEX5, GAPex-5, RAP6

GAPVD1 encodes a protein that acts as both a GTPase-activating protein and guanine nucleotide exchange factor, regulating endocytosis, insulin receptor internalization, and glucose transporter trafficking. Mutations cause autosomal dominant early-onset epileptic encephalopathy and developmental delay. This gene is highly constrained against loss-of-function variants in the general population.

Clinical SummaryGAPVD1
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.
