TMEM255B

Chr 13

transmembrane protein 255B

Also known as: FAM70B

TMEM255B encodes a protein predicted to localize to cellular membranes, though its specific function remains unclear. The gene shows very low constraint against loss-of-function variants (high LOEUF score), suggesting it may tolerate complete loss of function. No established human diseases have been definitively linked to TMEM255B mutations in the medical literature.

The highest-scoring mechanism for this gene is gain-of-function.

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.
