OLFML2A

Chr 9

olfactomedin like 2A

Also known as: PRO34319

The protein is predicted to bind extracellular matrix components and organize the extracellular matrix through signal transduction pathways. This gene shows minimal constraint against loss-of-function variants based on population data, but no established human disease associations have been reported. Clinical significance of variants in this gene remains uncertain.

The highest-scoring mechanism for this gene is dominant-negative.

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.
