GOLGA8M

Chr 15

golgin A8 family member M

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. This gene is extremely tolerant to loss-of-function variants (very low constraint), and no established human diseases have been associated with GOLGA8M mutations to date.

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.

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.
