GOLGA8G

Chr 15

golgin A8 family member G

NCBI Gene: 283768 ENSG00000183629 UniProt: P0DX53

The protein is predicted to be involved in Golgi apparatus organization and is located in various Golgi compartments including the cis cisterna and cis-Golgi network. No established human diseases have been associated with mutations in this gene. The gene shows tolerance to loss-of-function variants with a relatively high LOEUF score of 1.55.

This gene has evidence for multiple mechanisms of pathogenicity (gain-of-function and dominant-negative). 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.

DNprediction above median

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.
