GOLGA8O

Chr 15

golgin A8 family member O

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 shows very low constraint against loss-of-function variants (pLI near 0, LOEUF 1.9), and no established disease associations have been reported in the provided data. Clinical significance of variants in this gene remains uncertain.

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.

GOFprediction above median
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.
