TMEM213

Chr 7

transmembrane protein 213

TMEM213 encodes a protein predicted to be located in cellular membranes, though its specific function remains unclear. The gene shows low constraint against loss-of-function variants (pLI 0.09, LOEUF 1.36), suggesting tolerance to functional disruption. No established disease associations have been reported for TMEM213 mutations.

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.
