GOLGA4

Chr 3

golgin A4

Also known as: CRPF46, GCP2, GOLG, MU-RMS-40.18, p230

The protein functions in vesicular trafficking at the Golgi apparatus and is involved in endosome-to-Golgi transport and delivery of transport vesicles containing GPI-linked proteins. Mutations cause autosomal recessive progressive myoclonic epilepsy. The gene is highly constrained against loss-of-function variants, indicating intolerance to protein-disrupting mutations.

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.
